Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem sharply criticized Joe Biden’s border policies, saying they allowed millions of unvetted individuals into the United States and created ongoing public safety risks, while vowing that federal authorities will continue pursuing and deporting dangerous criminals.
Noem’s remarks focused on the consequences she said stem from years of open border policies, particularly the difficulty of determining how many dangerous individuals entered the country without proper vetting. She said those policies have left states, including Minnesota, dealing with the fallout.
“We won’t stop until we are sure that all the dangerous people are picked up, brought to justice and then deported back to the number,” Noem said.
“We wouldn’t be in this situation. We wouldn’t be in this situation if Joe Biden hadn’t allowed our open border policies to be in place and allowed up to 20 million people unvetted into this country.”
Noem said the scale of illegal immigration under the Biden-Harris administration makes it impossible to provide precise numbers about the criminal population now living in the United States, including in Minnesota.
“We have no idea how many dangerous people are here,” she said.
She said that mass migration facilitated by the Biden-Harris administration included individuals from countries associated with terrorism and crime, compounding the challenge facing law enforcement.

“When you have millions of people coming in that are terrorists, suspected terrorists, criminals, come from countries in the mass migration that the Biden administration facilitated, I can’t tell the people of Minnesota exactly how many dangerous criminals they have,” Noem said.
Despite the uncertainty, Noem emphasized that each arrest removes a real threat from communities and brings tangible relief to families affected by crime.
“I do know that they’re extremely grateful every time we get a pedophile off the street,” she said.
Noem pointed to a recent arrest involving a child predator as an example of why continued enforcement remains a priority.
“We arrested an individual this week that was raping children,” she said.
“I think those parents in Minnesota can sleep better at night knowing that that person isn’t free.”
WATCH:
Noem framed her comments as part of a broader commitment to restoring law and order through immigration enforcement, saying dangerous individuals must be apprehended, prosecuted, and removed from the country.
Her remarks reflect ongoing criticism from the Trump administration and its allies of Biden-era immigration policies, which they argue weakened border security and increased risks to public safety.
Noem has consistently argued that aggressive enforcement is necessary to protect communities and prevent repeat offenses by individuals who entered the country illegally.
Noem said federal authorities will continue focusing on identifying and arresting individuals who pose the greatest danger, stressing that enforcement efforts are driven by public safety rather than politics.
