Illegal Immigrant Cannibal Tried To Eat Himself On Deportation Flight, DHS Secretary Says

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Tuesday shared a disturbing tale of an illegal immigrant, which she said underscored the importance of the Trump administration’s deportation efforts.

“The other day I was talking to some marshals who had been partnering with ICE,” Noem said. “They said they had detained a cannibal and put him on a plane to take him home 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.”

“You know, what bothered me the most is that this U.S. Marshal just said it like it was normal,” Noem said in an interview with FOX News. “He said he was literally eating his own arms. That is what he did. He called himself a cannibal and ate other people and ate himself that day.”

“These are the kind of deranged individuals that are on our streets in America that we’re trying to target,” Noem added.” We’re trying to get them out of our country because they are so deranged they don’t belong here.”

The secretary then slammed news outlets that “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 Joe Biden let the worst of the worst come in here.”

“They shouldn’t be walking the streets with our children. And they shouldn’t be living in communities with our families who just want to raise their children to grow up and get a job and to live the American dream,” she added.

The press briefing comes after a visit to Florida’s latest ICE detention facility, dubbed Alligator Alcatraz, alongside President Donald Trump.

Noem praised Florida Governor Ron DeSantis “for stepping up and being an example to other governors.”

“I hope my phone rings off the hook from governors calling and saying how can we do what Florida just did?”

Trump echoed her sentiment, saying he’d like to see Alligator Alcatraz repeated in “many states.”
