FIRST ON FOX: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Friday announced the arrest of what it called the “worst of the worst” criminal illegal immigrants during Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota, including a man with 24 criminal convictions.
The agency blasted state and local leaders for refusing to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.

That policy, DHS claims, has resulted in hundreds of criminal illegal aliens being released back into local Minnesota communities.
“As our law enforcement are facing rampant violence against them, they arrested murderers, drug traffickers and an illegal with 24 criminal convictions in Minneapolis,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said. “These are the criminals Governor [Tim] Walz and Mayor [Jacob] Frey are protecting. No American wants these criminals for neighbors.”
