More than 150 illegal migrant sexual predators have been nabbed 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 murder.
Others who were arrested had prior convictions for child molestation and sexual assault, 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."

Operation Dirtbag. Fitting moniker given who they are removing.
And for some reason, there are clowns actually protesting their removal across the country.
With screams for "due process". Some folks just love their crimiinals.
They don't understand that these dirtbags are getting the very same "due process" that they got under Clinton, Obama and Biden.
You misspelled Constitution.
So the constitution changed after Clinton, Obama and Biden. Got it
Your word salad added nothing.
Sorry if it went over your head
You're not sorry. I wish you were. There was nothing to go over my head. You just wrote some stupid nonsense. Blah blah blah name a Democrat. It's lame. Just as lame as accusing people of loving criminals. It's pure trolling.
Still over your head i see. Try again. Hinr. Where was the outrage when the other presidents i mentioned deported folks without due process.
Still SO lame. Is the seed about deportation? No. Was the thread about deportation? Again, no. Did you even mention deportation in your initial comment? For the 3rd time, no.
So you decided to change the subject without mentioning it and expect people to read your mind - and that’s assuming you’re even writing the truth about that. Because, after all, you made zero effort to support this imaginary thesis of deportation without due process. So, it’s doubtful you actually want to talk about it.
Like I said, it’s all nonsense and trolling. If you want to have an actual conversation about a thing, all you have to do is say so, instead you just post empty comments like blah blah blah name a Democrat. Lame lame lame.
Funny post.
A comment was made, I responded to the comment and my comment was responded to by the same person. In other words we were having an adult conversation. Then you came along and trolled the conversation and tried to make it about me. Funny how some folks like to accuse others of what they are doing.
Go troll somewhere else.
I can't imagine why they would be OK with it then yet have an issue when Trump does the same thing. Just kidding, we all know exactly why.
They wanted them here and now they want to keep them here. They are finally being honest.
Was the notorious Florida "pussy-grabber" not included?
You remind us all of something the man not only admitted to, but bragged about. And someone here is upset about it. Pathetic.
What's pathetic is that the voters knew it, and still voted for him.
Indeed. Everyone who has voted for Trump is tacitly condoning his actions both past and present. They are telling the world they approve of old white men who believe they can just grab women they find attractive by the genitals. That is who those people are now.
There should have been an obviously better option. There wasn't. Either time.
Both elections were the Democrats to lose and they chose to lose them
Sad, but true.
I have to agree.
When are they going to go after the home grown sexual predators?[✘]
Florida has sexual predators?! Who knew?!
There’s a certain former Attorney General they can thank for that.
They like to say this but never show any evidence that it actually happened. Let's get some names so there can be corroborating evidence to their claim. They have previously made similar claims which have turned out to be false.
Anyone else notice the huge loophole that they afforded themselves?
So what's stopping you from providing evidence either way?
What loopholes? You want these people in your neighborhood?
How about the fact that they provided no names or info about these people?
So you can't provide evidence either way. Not like that wasn't obvious from the start.
And neither can the article you seeded. The problem with your claim is that I cannot provide it because YOUR SEEDED ARTICLE DID NOT PROVIDE IT.
That may be correct but it is a rather self defeating argument. The seeded article doesn't need to meet your demands. And failure to meet your demands does not diminish the information provided in the article.
Just because an article doesn't list the 14 victims of the UPS plane crash doesn't diminish the reporting on the crash. The crash still happened and the victims are still victims.
Doesn't meet anybody's demands. Why would anybody want to read an article that has no facts included? Only people who want that conclusion no matter how it comes about.
There are articles that list the plane crash victims. You have UPS statements that support it. Jeremy's seeded article contains the statement of a known liar with no corroboration.
And you know that because of independent reporting.
They do like to say all sorts of things without evidence. "Millions of illegals are voting!" No evidence. "Trump won the 2020 election!" Only evidence of exactly the opposite. "Prices are down and there's no inflation since Trump took office!". Completely contrary to the evidence. "Trump will bring drug prices down by 1500%!". Literally impossible. Why anyone believes a thing that comes out of these dishonest useless bigots' mouths without evidence I will never know. These conservative morons actually think they should get the benefit of the doubt even though nearly every word coming out of their mouths is demonstratable false.
You mean like "He colluded with Russia" or "He incited a riot"?
Deport them to Venezuela on Go Fast boats. Let the Navy take care of them.
So, where was Ron DeSantis? Why hasn't Alligator Alcatraz reopened? Why isn't Noem recruiting immigrants to work these ICE raids? I'll betcha giving some immigrants a badge and gun would rid the country of a lot more of these dirtbags -- permanently.
To my knowledge, it is currently open. The lower court injunction in August citing environmental law violations was almost immediately overturned with a stay issued by an appeals court. The facility as of today is still operational as far as I know.
Since its inception in 2003, the requirements for employment of an ICE deportation officer are that one must be a U.S. citizen, either through birth or naturalization. Also, one must have resided in the U.S. for at least three years prior to applying and go through rigorous background checks. To the extent that recent legal naturalized immigrants can meet these requirements, they can certainly apply.
Yeah, I can only find fuzzy answers, too. The South Florida Detention Facility is operational but there aren't any indications if the the facility is operating at planned capacity.
ICE can employ non-citizens as informants and intelligence gatherers under Confidential Human Sources (CHSs) provisions. ICE can pay contracted amounts, wages, and/or rewards for intelligence and information gathering services by non-citizens. Obviously the informants are not given a competitive position and are not employed to enforce law.
Obviously information about informants cannot be publicized without endangering the informant. But it seems obvious that ICE has been utilizing Confidential Human Sources on its targeted raids.
They forgot the one at Mar-a-Lago.
Bill Clinton does not live there.
Keep up the good work, there are many more to catch and send back
Send them all to FPC Bryan, they're really tough on sexual predators ... /s
First stop: Mar-a-Lago.
