Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says we haven't taken anything off the table on expanding immigration operations

Source: CBS News

August 31, 2025 / 1:46 PM EDT


Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Sunday that "we haven't taken anything off the table" when asked about expanding immigration enforcement operations to cities throughout the U.S.

"I think there's a lot of cities that are dealing with crime and violence right now. And so, we haven't taken anything off the table. We've been making sure that we have the resources and the equipment to go in," Noem said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan."

CBS News reported last week that Immigration and Customs Enforcement is planning to expand its operations to Chicago in the coming days, mirroring the immigration arrest operation seen in Los Angeles earlier this year.

Noem said Sunday that there's been "ongoing operations with ICE in Chicago and throughout Illinois and other states, making sure that we're upholding our laws." But she acknowledged that "we do intend to add more resources to those operations."

of "habeas corpus".

"Homeland Security Director Kristi Noem, under sharp questioning from Democratic senators during a Tuesday hearing, incorrectly described habeas corpus as a presidential authority to deport individuals.

Noem was on Capitol Hill to testify before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on the Department of Homeland Security's budget for fiscal year 2026. She was asked by Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., to define "habeas corpus."

The secretary responded: "Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country."

In reality, habeas corpus is a bedrock constitutional legal principle that safeguards individuals from unlawful imprisonment by enabling them to petition the court to review the legality of their detention."...(more)

That would be the option of setting up more immigration judges and providing legal assistance to needy immigrants and bolstering the State Dempartment to accelerate the visa process.

That would have been in the various "comprehensive immigration reform" bills that Repubs and trump have killed over the last 10 years or so.

As usual, Repubs offer no solutions, just exploitation of the issue for political reasons.

They are targeting Dem cities to prepare for taking over elections in those areas.
