Thursday, November 13, 2025 - More than 150 illegal migrant s£xu@l predators have been arrested in Florida as part of a massive sweep dubbed “Operation Dirtbag,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem revealed on Wednesday.
The sex offenders were among more than 230 illegals rounded
up in the Sunshine State after being wanted for crimes including drug offenses
and even murd£r.
Others who were arrested had prior convictions for child
molestation and s£xual ass@ult, according to the Department of Homeland
Security.
“This operation was called Operation Criminal Return. I call
it Operation Dirtbag, because these individuals were sex offenders, but not
just sex offenders, they targeted children,” Noem told “Fox & Friends.”
“These 150 individuals will be gone off of our streets. Our
kids will be safer.”
Noem added that the blitz, carried out with the cooperation
of Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, was a model she wanted to replicate
across the US.
“These individuals should have never been in our country to
begin with,” she said.
“The fact that they were sexual deviants and perverts, and
now we’ve gotten them off of our streets, it’s remarkable. And we need to do
more of it.”
Noem spoke publicly after reports emerged that an influx of
federal Border Patrol agents who had been assigned to round up illegal migrants
in Chicago were set to leave and continue the Trump administration’s crackdown
in other major cities.
While Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are still
expected to continue operations in Chicago, Illinois Democratic
Gov. JB Pritzker hailed the development – calling President Trump
“demented” Tuesday for targeting the Windy City in the first place.
Both Trump and DHS have maintained the Chicago operation,
which began in September, had led to a huge drop in crime, including a 41%
decline in robberies and a 35% drop in shootings.
Noem ripped the Illinois governor Wednesday morning –
insisting that Pritzker’s “personal attacks” were putting “his people in
jeopardy each and every day.”
“I’m just so thrilled with the results that we’ve had in
Chicago, and we’re going to surge more resources there,” she said.
“We’re not going to just be in Chicago. We’re spreading out
to other cities and continuing to do our work. I won’t talk about specific
operations, but we’re not going to give him any relief from his political
rhetoric,” she added.
“We’re going to be in there defending these families. The
significant difference that we’ve made in public safety in Chicago is something
that we need more and many more cities.”
