Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem: Notorious Gang Leader Nabbed by ICE Was Trying to Buy Explosives—What For?
Red State ^ | 01/29/2025 | Bob Hoge

As we’ve been reporting, President Donald Trump, new Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and border czar Tom Homan have unleashed the forces of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, and agents have been busy rounding up illegal aliens—including many hardened criminals—and repatriating them to their home countries.

Although the left is crying over the lawful treatment of our “friends and neighbors,” many of the folks they’ve nabbed are the last people you’d want living next door to you. Among those captured was a vicious ringleader of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua, which has spread to at least 16 states and whose members recently made the lives of residents in Aurora, Colorado a living hell under the reign of terror. 

The suspect’s name is Anderson Zambrano-Pacheco, and he’s a real sweetheart.

🚨Tren de Aragua ringleader Anderson Zambrano-Pacheco, 25, arrested in NYC during a pre-dawn ICE raid.

This violent criminal, wanted for a kidnapping tied to the Aurora, CO break-in, was hiding across from an elementary school.

Trump’s crackdown is cleaning up the streets!

Why did Biden let them run free in the first place?

New DHS Head Noem Hits the Ground Running, Joins ICE Raid in 'Sanctuary' NYC to Nab 'Dirtbags'


But now, as Noem told interviewers Wednesday, the news gets even more sinister as it turns out Pacheco had recently been in the market for... grenades. What the heck could he want those for? Mayhem, of course, but what type specifically?

Noem gives the details:

Noem had joined federal immigration authorities Tuesday in New York City for the sweeps, which officials said were targeting violent criminals in major cities and elsewhere.

On Wednesday, Noem addressed the arrest of who she described as a "ringleader" of the Tren de Aragua gang during an appearance on "Fox & Friends."

"He had just been a part of a gun weapons exchange and was trying to buy grenades," Noem said. "Why would anybody in this country need to buy a grenade and go out and perpetuate violence?"

Why indeed?

Noem argued that despite all the whining from the left, people who actually have to live in the midst of this type of terror are thrilled that the new administration is getting these guys off the streets:

"What was amazing is you'll hear people and Democrat leaders in different cities, like New York City, some of their city council members have tried to attack what we're doing as far as enforcing our laws," she said. "But the people on the streets are not with them." 

"It was amazing to hear people and see them as they walked by taking their kids to school, going to work, just walk by us and quietly say thank you, thank you for being here," Noem continued. "And that means a world to those officers that are out there risking their lives to bring safety back."

Noem also announced that she was rescinding a last-minute order by former DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas extending Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelan "refugees" for some 600,000 Venezuelan "refugees."

Watch:

Nobody said turning this country after four years of the Biden malfeasance administration was going to be easy. It’s stunning, however, just how quickly the new team is making a difference in making America safer.

Even Democrat Rep. Ritchie-Torres (NY) knows we need change:

In my Congressional District in the Bronx, ICE detained Anderson Zambrano-Pacheco, a violent gang leader wanted for kidnapping. I strongly favor surgically removing violent criminals, especially gang leaders, from the Bronx.

If you are among the activists who want to open your your homes and communities to violent gang leaders, you more than welcome to roll out the red carpet for them. But we in the Bronx want them gone.

Off to Gitmo to be fitted for a waterboard.


Then to try out molten lead in all orifices, followed by pedicure and manicure toe and finger nail removal, followed by introduction to the Iron Maiden

Invest a year in taking out the trash. Then turn on traitors like Mayorkas and others.

The fury of the people needs to be unleash on them so no other politician dares to do what they did.

Gitmo works, or a public flogging. Just taking everything they own simply isn’t enough.

It’s not waterboarding if you use diesel.

In case you missed the turning of Laura Ingraham into a driveby journalist last night during her interview with new Homeland chief Christi Noem you missed a huge transformation. It was the outing of the normally sweet,smiling,well mannered Laura transformed into Godzilla the hun. Seems Christi Noem dared wear the uniform of those she is in charge of.

Evidently wearing the uniform and looking good,really good,hot, as some describe her, is against all known laws when you come on the Ingraham show. Especially, if you are not even blonde!!

Ingraham embarassed herself over and over with one gotcha question after another obviously pre-planned to take out our newest Homeland Security boss who has as tough a job as there is.

Noem is tasked with: getting rid of millions of dirtbag leftovers from the Obiden adm. which did their best to destroy America as we know it.

Why doing that job and wearing the uniform of those she is in charge of was such a dastardly deed requiring Ingraham to devolve into a driveby journalist is beyond me.

The only words that describe it are:

INSANE JEALOUSY!!

Evidently, if you are a guest on the Laura Ingraham show you are supposed to dress down so you don't out-shine the host. Looking better than the host, especially when you are her approx. age, is apparently the death nell for any female who clearly has the look.

Here is what Kristi Noem wore that drove Laura Ingraham insanely jealous:

Ingraham will now be on my sh_t list for some time.
