Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem revealed horrifying details about the latest illegal alien the department took into custody, who she said was a cannibal who tried to eat himself free after being detained.
Let's go ahead and put this in the WTH (What the heck?!) category. The details of this bizarre capture were shared on Tuesday during a roundtable discussion at "Aligator Alcatraz" in Florida, while Noem and President Donald Trump were on hand to discuss the new illegal immigration detention facility and give a tour of the place.
"President Trump is upholding freedom by what he is doing," Noem said. "And because those liberals, I'm calling out you, CNN. I'm calling you out because you lie every single day about what these operations are. We are going after murderers and rapists, and traffickers, and drug dealers and getting them off the streets and getting them out of this country because [former President] Joe Biden let the worst of the worst come in."
"The other day, I was talking to some of the marshals that had been partnering with ICE, and they said that they had detained a cannibal [illegal alien] and put him on a plane to take him home," she added. "And while they had him in his seat, he started to eat himself, and they had to get him off and get him medical attention."
"These are the kind of deranged individuals that are on our streets in America that we are trying to target and get out of our country," Noem continued. "Because they are so deranged, they don't belong here. They shouldn't be walking the streets with our children."
At one point during the roundtable, Noem said that violence against ICE officers and border patrol agents has "increased over 500 percent since Trump has gone back into the White House."
"Because he's been upholding the law and because a bunch of liberals, socialists, and Marxists are out there lying about what President Trump is doing," the DHS Secretary added.
RedState reported earlier that Noem announced that the Department of Justice is looking into the prosecution of CNN for promoting ICEBlock, a new app that tells illegal immigrants when ICE agents are nearby.

Speaking from the new detention facility, Noem was asked about CNN pushing the app that lets a person track where ICE agents are and Border Czar Tom Homan's comments about prosecuting the network.
President Donald Trump responded, "It's okay with me," before Noem replied.
"We are working with the Department of Justice to see if we can prosecute them for that," the DHS secretary told the member of the press. "Because what they are doing is actively encouraging people to avoid law enforcement activities and operations."
"And we are going to actually go after them and prosecute them with the partnership of [..] if we can," she added. "Because what they are doing, we believe, is illegal."
During a White House Press Briefing on Monday, a reporter asked Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt about the ICEBlock app, given the massive rise in attacks and assaults on Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
Leavitt first admitted she hadn't seen the CNN clip promoting the app but said that it sounded like "this would be an incitement of further violence against our ICE officers, as you just stated."
"There's been a 500 percent increase in violence against ICE agents, law enforcement officers across the country who are just simply trying to do their jobs," she added. "And remove public safety threats from our communities, and that's something we as Americans, including journalists at CNN who live in many of these cities, where illegal aliens are hiding and were let in from the previous administrations, should be very grateful for."
"We haven't seen the clip. We will take a look at it," Leavitt continued. "But certainly, it's unacceptable that a major network would promote such an app that would encourage violence against law enforcement officers who are trying to keep our country safe."
RedState has reported on the numerous fake news reports coming out of legacy media around the illegal immigration issue, which range from gaslighting on anti-ICE riots, falsely claiming the DHS denied medical care to an illegal alien child with leukemia, and those initial reports about the left's favorite once-deported illegal immigrant whom it so lovingly labeled simply a "Maryland father."

I'm genuinely waiting with bated breath to see which Democrat or legacy media outlets are going to defend the deported cannibal. The backlash should be incredible.
Editor’s Note: Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.
