Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem revealed that members of dangerous Latin American gangs Tren de Aragua and MS-13 have been encountered attempting to enter the United States from Canada following the Trump administration’s crackdown at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Noem, the top U.S. border official, shared with attendees at a northern border security-focused event in Detroit on Friday that federal law enforcement stationed along that border were seeing an uptick in members of two notorious gangs showing up at the Canada border.
“They’re seeing so many more [Tren de Aragua] members, MS-13 members crossing now here at the northern ports of entry and coming across the northern border because the southern border is closed,” Noem said during an America’s Future roundtable about her tour with Customs and Border Protection officers earlier in the day.
“They’re stopping them because they’re there and they still have the resources to, but the amount of drugs and the illegals and the criminals that are trying to come into this country still that you guys are able to stop is remarkable,” Noem added.
Noem’s appearance came several days after she was rushed in an ambulance to a Washington-area hospital for what the DHS said was an allergic reaction.
The secretary was released from the hospital later that day and appeared fine at the Detroit event.
