DHS Sec Kristi Noem says illegal immigrant cannibal started eating himself on deportation flight

Federal authorities apprehended an illegal immigrant cannibal began eating himself on a recent deportation flight, according to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

Noem, the former Gov. of South Dakota, said during a Tuesday roundtable with President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that she was informed about the matter by US Marshals working on ICE operations. The roundtable was conducted to brief reporters on "Alligator Alcatraz," a newly established illegal immigrant detainment facility in Florida.

"The other day I was talking to some [US] Marshals that had been partnering with ICE," Noem recounted. "They said that 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."

Noem stated that the incident serves as an example of how former Democratic President Joe Biden "let the worst of the worst come here." She did not disclose the identity of the individual in question.

"These are the kind of deranged individuals that are on our streets in America that we're trying to target and get out of our country because they are so deranged they don't belong here," Noem continued. "They shouldn't be walking the streets with out children, and they shouldn't be living in the communities without families who just want to...raise their children to grow up and get a job, and to live the American dream."

"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," Noem said.

The DHS secretary thanked law enforcement for their tireless work in apprehending criminal illegal immigrants since President Trump took office in January and enacted mass deportation operations. Noem described "Alligator Alcatraz" as a "state-of-the-art facility" equipped with 3,000 beds, which will house illegal migrant detainees to be processed for immediate deportation."
