"Just yesterday, DHS arrested multiple sex offenders, violent assailants, and drug traffickers in Minnesota," said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. "Our law enforcement are putting their lives on the line to arrest these public safety threats.

We need Minnesota to honor the ICE arrest detainers of the more than 1,360 illegal aliens in their custody."
