The Department of Homeland Security is on a roll.

The Daily Wire is reporting that DHS has been doing scores of busts, ranging from cracking down on sex predators, illegal alien human traffickers and child abusers.

Raids going from California, to Newark, New Jersey turned out in the arrests of dozens of illegal aliens perpetrating crimes, with the federal agency saying that “the full weight of the American government is bringing the hammer down on human trafficking rings.”

“The brave men and women of DHS are the best in the world at going after traffickers. They are always able to track down those who are trafficking individuals, find the ringleaders, and rip that evil off by its head,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told The Daily Wire.

“I’m so thankful that I get the chance to lead individuals like that, and agents who get up every day to help save our children and to save women and men from the kind of slavery that we’ve seen,” the secretary went on to say, celebrating the work of DHS agents to bust human trafficking rings on the World Day Against Trafficking in Persons.

In one operation, ICE and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation joined forces to impose a four-count indictment against eight people with links to the criminal gang Tren de Aragua, with the defendants charged for their involvement in a “transnational commercial sex enterprise.” Originally from Venezuela, Tren de Aragua has proven to be one of the most notorious street gangs today.

In another instance, ICE officers arrested four illegal alien child predators in late July in an operation in Newark. Those arrested, which was part of Operation Apex Predator, were all registered sex offenders.

Homeland Security has also cracked down on forced labor rings under Noem. One South Korean company, Taepyung Salt Farm, is no longer able to import its products to the United States, with Customs and Border Protection agents stopping their imports on account of “information that reasonably indicates the use of forced labor in the production of the company’s sea salt products.”
