Well, would you look at that—there’s a new sheriff in town, and she’s not taking sass from cartel flunkies in Crocs. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem just put every illegal alien on notice with an early morning Arizona deportation raid that was more action-packed than your average crime drama. If Democrats thought they could keep the border lawless and the consequences soft, they clearly didn’t anticipate Secretary Noem rolling up in tactical gear, face-to-face with cartel-linked criminals, and serving up justice with a side of dry wit.
Let’s talk about that almost-kick from Jose Escobar-Robles. The man’s in the back of a police SUV, arrested for allegedly funneling money to Mexican drug cartels, and his go-to defense is to swing a Croc-clad foot at a federal official? That’s the level of contempt we’re dealing with. And Noem? She didn’t flinch. She barely even blinked, responding with the type of perfectly calibrated mockery that cuts deep: “Yeah, yeah. You’re scaring me with your crocs.” It’s that blend of toughness and unapologetic swagger that’s been missing from DHS for way too long.
This illegal was so mad he was getting arrested so he tried blocking us and hiding with his CROC.

Escobar-Robles isn’t alone. The morning’s haul also included Luis Garcia-Sanchez, another repeat offender who’s been deported twice before and still managed to sneak his way back into our country to pursue a life of felony narcotics and gang activity. This time, he’s getting the full Noem treatment. Instead of the usual sanctuary city slap on the wrist, Noem hit him with some brutal honesty: “Go deal with the consequences of breaking the law here. Give them an example of being a better person.” Not exactly the kind of hug-it-out response the left loves, but maybe—just maybe-the message will finally get through.
And let’s not gloss over the best part: these raids are being filmed, distributed, and used as deterrents. Imagine that—law enforcement actually trying to prevent crime before it happens. Wild concept. Noem isn’t playing into the sob story PR strategy of the open-borders crowd. She’s showing what law enforcement looks like when it’s unshackled from activist judges and bureaucratic hand-wringers. The visual alone—criminal aliens being carted off while trying to kick their way out of accountability—is enough to make your average law-abiding American stand up and cheer.
Of course, all this is happening while the Trump administration revamps the CBP One app with one clear message: “Leave now and self-deport.” It’s like the government is offering a courtesy exit ramp before Noem shows up in a black SUV and knocks on your door at 5 a.m. Seems fair. Use the app or get the Croc treatment. Your call.
And in case there were still any doubts about where criminal illegals are headed, Noem made that painfully clear during her visit to El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center—home to some of the most violent MS-13 and Tren de Aragua thugs. Her message was unmistakable: if you break into this country, break the law, and think you’ll get to stay, think again. You may find yourself in a foreign cell surrounded by your fellow deported criminals.

President Trump and I have a clear message to criminal illegal aliens: LEAVE NOW.
If you do not leave, we will hunt you down, arrest you, and you could end up in this El Salvadorian prison. pic.twitter.com/OItDqNsFxM

With the Supreme Court giving a green light to removals under the Alien Enemies Act, it’s game on. No more activist judges blocking enforcement. No more catch-and-release nonsense. No more pretending that “compassion” means tolerating chaos. For the first time in years, the rules are being enforced—and those who’ve built their lifestyles on the assumption that the U.S. won’t do a thing are finally being proven wrong.
Kristi Noem didn’t just send a message in Arizona. She sent a wake-up call to every criminal alien across the country: Your sanctuary days are over. And if your big plan for resistance is to flail around in Crocs, you’re in for a rude awakening.
