WATCH: @POTUS Trump highlights the WORST OF THE WORST arrested by @ICEgov in Minnesota. Under the leadership of President Trump and @Sec_Noem, DHS law enforcement is removing the murderers, predators, fraudsters, and drug traffickers from American communities.

This weekend, another significant winter storm is forecast to impact the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast U.S. Sunday through Monday. New Jersey to southeastern New England may experience blizzard conditions, with heavy snowfall and strong winds. We are anticipating that coastal areas will experience the highest impacts, with the greatest snowfall totals and strongest wind gusts anticipated. Despite the Democrat shutdown, DHS is working with state and local authorities, and @FEMA to coordinate closely with state and local authorities and prepare for this storm.   We ask that you stay home, stay safe, stay warm, and stay off the roads to avoid these adverse weather conditions. For readiness resources, please visit ready.gov

On February 17, ICE arrested Juan Espindola-Ramirez, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico. During a vehicle stop, Espindola-Ramirez refused to exit his vehicle when officers requested him to do so. ICE officers removed him from his vehicle. During the stop, he continued to resist arrest and attempted to run away from officers.  ICE safely took Espindola-Ramirez into custody.   Espindola-Ramirez did NOT present any form of a driver license during the encounter. He has two previous arrests in 2018 and 2019 by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department for driving without a license. He will receive full due process and remain in ICE custody pending immigration proceedings. He was granted work authorization by the Biden administration. To be clear work authorization does not confer any legal status in this country.   Being in detention is a choice. We encourage all parents to use the CBP Home app to take control of their departure. The United States is offering illegal aliens $2,600 and a free flight to self-deport now. We encourage every person here illegally to take advantage of this offer and reserve the chance to come back to the U.S. the right legal way to live the American dream. If not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return.

Today, @POTUS Trump directed @FEMA and @EPA to provide emergency assistance to the District of Columbia as they work to protect people from the effects of the recent spill in the Potomac. @EPALeeZeldin and I will stay in close contact to ensure coordinated federal support to the District.   FEMA is deploying a team to support incident management, working directly with local officials and federal partners to coordinate federal resources. EPA will lead the federal response while @DHSgov and FEMA leverage all our resources to ensure the cleanup is swift and effective. Even as Democrat politicians shut us down and these men and women go without pay, DHS is committed to providing much needed aid to the Americans impacted by this disaster. We will not let our citizens suffer without help.

Unrestrained mass illegal migration during the Biden era inflicted incredible damage on our nation. For four years, America was flooded with third world criminals — destabilizing our communities and making Americans less safe. At DHS, we’re fighting every day to reverse this damage by securing our borders, enforcing the law, and deporting every criminal illegal alien. foxnews.com/politics/dhs-say…

It was a pleasure to host the Governor of Puerto Rico, @Jenniffer González-Colón, today at @DHSgov. It was good to discuss the @USCG mission and energy projects.

ROOTING OUT FRAUD IN OUR ASYLUM SYSTEM. For too long, a fraudulent asylum claim has been an easy path to working in our nation, overwhelming our immigration system with meritless applications and allowing millions of illegal aliens and foreigners to flood our communities. Now, we’re taking decisive action to overhaul this failed system, strengthen the vetting of applicants, and ensure our asylum system prioritizes those actually seeking refuge from danger. It’s part of our mission to end fraud in our immigration system and ensure our nation and our people are kept SAFE. dhs.gov/news/2026/02/20/dhs-…

Illegal immigration is siphoning American resources. Due to unchecked migration during the Biden era, 8% of the ENTIRE population of Nicaragua illegally entered America. After coming to the U.S., many of these Nicaraguans sent remittances back home. These remittances now make up 37% of the ENTIRE NICARAGUAN ECONOMY, taking BILLIONS of dollars away from our nation. This is unsustainable, and DHS is working to end it.

More “non criminals.” On Feb 12, these two illegal aliens from Mexico broke into a North Carolina home where they beat, sodomized and ripped off the fingernails of their victim. Neither had a criminal record (outside of breaking our nation’s immigration laws.) ICE has lodged a detainer against Zaid Mayen-Esteban and Jonathan David Garcia-Larios, both charged for assault with deadly weapon with intent to kill or inflict serious injury, burglary, kidnapping, and sodomy.

Meet Jhon Jairo Lopez: an unvetted criminal illegal alien Biden let into our country to terrorize Americans. Criminal history: aggravated homicide, drug trafficking, manufacturing & trafficking of firearms and ammunition. Thanks to ICE officers, this murderer is off the streets

ICE San Diego arrested Soulath Baythavong, a criminal illegal alien convicted of kidnapping for the purpose of rape of a minor, willful homicide, aggravated assault, and escape. He will remain in ICE custody pending removal.

ICE ERO Seattle arrested Antonio Castaneda-Oseguera, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico who was sentenced to 34 months last year for RAPE STRONG ARM and CHILD MOLESTATION. Castaneda is being held accountable for crossing the border illegally.

The men and women of the Coast Guard are on the front lines protecting our nation day in and day out. By shutting down DHS, Democrats are cutting off funding to this critical component — leaving Coast Guard personnel without a paycheck and lacking the support needed to carry out their mission to protect our homeland. Our Coast Guard should NEVER be treated as collateral damage. Democrats need to end their partisan grandstanding and stop playing reckless games with our national security. foxnews.com/politics/coast-g…

MUST WATCH. What happened to Dalilah Coleman is a tragedy, and it’s one that could have been PREVENTED if California did not grant commercial driver’s licenses to illegal aliens. DHS is working every day to remove dangerous aliens who have no right to be in the U.S.

We have a place for you, patriots. JOIN.ICE.GOV

Democrats care more about scoring political points than the safety and security of the American people—and it’s shameful.   America deserves leaders who serve THEM, not selfish political theater.

IT IS A CHOICE TO STAY IN DETENTION On October 2, 2025, U.S. Customs and Border Protection referred Maria Alejandra Montoya Sanchez, an illegal alien from Colombia who was previously arrested for theft criminal possession of stolen property, and her daughter to secondary inspection at the Fort Lauderdale International port of entry.   A records check revealed the subject entered the U.S. on September 13, 2018, on a B2 tourist visa and failed to depart. Both Montoya Sanchez and her daughter were put into immigration proceedings. The mother and daughter accepted a voluntary departure back to Colombia on February 6.
  Parents can take control of their departure and receive a free flight and $2,600 with the CBP Home app. By using the CBP Home app illegal aliens reserve the chance to come back the right legal way.

This is a WIN for the safety of federal law enforcement, the Constitution and common sense. This law is a direct violation of the Supremacy Clause, and it’s designed to make it easier for rioters, dangerous criminals, and terrorists to dox and threaten DHS officers and their families. Gavin Newsom should be embarrassed that he ever signed it. We look forward to defeating this unconstitutional statute once and for all.

There are countless Americans whose lives and families were shattered because an illegal immigrant — who should never have been in our country — was allowed to stay and take an innocent life. This is our why.

ICE @EROWashington D.C. arrested Mohammad Amini, an illegal alien from Afghanistan in Washington, D.C. Amini's criminal history includes an arrest for a sex offense against a child. Amini will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.

This criminal illegal alien rapist thought he could exploit our immigration system to flee justice in his home country. Thanks to our officers, he is in ICE custody pending removal to El Salvador where he will serve his sentence for Rape Against a Minor or Incapacitated Person.
