OVER 10,000 MIGRANTS ARRESTED IN MINNEAPOLIS, SAYS US HOMELAND SECURITY CHIEF

Tue 20 January 2026:

US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Monday that her department had arrested over 10,000 migrants in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as part of an ongoing crackdown on immigration.

“We have arrested over 10,000 criminal illegal aliens who were killing Americans, hurting children and reigning terror in Minneapolis,” Noem said in a statement.

Noem blalmed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for what she called a failure to protect residents, accusing them of protecting “criminals.”

Over the past six weeks, Noem said, law enforcement officials had arrested 3,000 migrants.

Minneapolis has become a flashpoint in the national debate over immigration enforcement after a Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good on Jan. 7.

An American woman and mother, Good’s killing sparked widespread public and political backlash, as well as demands for investigations at the local, state and federal levels.

Noem added that massive fraud in Minnesota is also being investigated.

“There is MASSIVE Fraud in Minneapolis, at least $19 billion and that’s just the tip of iceberg,” her post concluded. “Our Homeland Security Investigators are on the ground in Minneapolis conducting wide scale investigations to get justice for the American people who have been robbed blind.”

Noem announced last week that more ICE agents would be sent to Minneapolis for more immigration crackdown.

Protests have ramped up across the state due to the amount of ICE agents coming in.
