BRADENTON, Fla. - U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem spoke in Bradenton on Monday morning about ICE operations.

By the numbers:

She said since January, the Department of Homeland Security has arrested over 480,000 criminal illegal immigrants and seized illegal guns and drugs.

According to Noem, 70 percent of those arrested have criminal charges against them or have been convicted of those criminal charges.

"We are focused on the worst of the worst," Noem explained. "Bringing these people to justice. We’re not going to let individuals terrorize our streets anymore and we’re not going to let them make victims out of families that live in this country."
