The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) arrested seven more criminal illegal immigrants, including “pedophiles, gang members, and drug traffickers,” during Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Friday released its latest “worst of the worst” list, which includes criminals from Somalia, Venezuela, Ecuador, the Dominican Republic and Guatemala.
“Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey protected these criminals at the expense of the safety of Americans,” DHS Deputy Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. “President Trump and Secretary Noem have a clear message for illegal criminals: LEAVE NOW. Otherwise, we will find you, arrest you, and deport you.”
Among those arrested were Abdi Gelle Mohamed, a Somali, and Sahal Osman Shidane, who were found guilty of sexual exploitation of a minor and sexual conduct with a victim aged 13 to 15, respectively, DHS said.

The Justice Department also filed federal charges this week against Abdimahat Bille Mohamed, 28, a convicted sex offender in Minnesota who allegedly kidnapped and raped a woman he met on Snapchat in September. He was convicted in May in two unrelated sexual assault cases, but a judge did not allow him to serve prison time under his plea agreement.
