• President Trump joined Noem and Governor Ron DeSantis at the Everglades facility nicknamed Alligator Alcatraz, which Florida built in eight days to expand detention capacity.
• Noem recounted an ICE and U.S. Marshals anecdote that a detained migrant described as a cannibal tried to eat himself during a deportation flight.
• She argued the story underscores the need for sweeping deportation powers to remove dangerous individuals from U.S. communities.
• Internal ICE data show the administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act has driven an 807% surge in arrests of migrants without criminal convictions.
• Noem directly accused CNN and other liberal outlets of distorting the administration’s immigration operations.
