WASHINGTON — Homeland Security Secretary Christine Noem reinforced the Trump administration’s strict immigration stance in a video statement, emphasizing border security, law enforcement, and the removal of undocumented immigrants. Noem’s remarks underscored the administration’s commitment to enforcing immigration laws and maintaining national security.

“Leave now,” Noem said, summarizing President Donald Trump’s position on illegal immigration. She warned that those remaining in the country unlawfully would face deportation and be barred from reentry.

The secretary criticized past administrations for failing to secure the border, arguing that weak policies had endangered American lives. She acknowledged Trump’s role in strengthening immigration enforcement and removing individuals with criminal records.

Noem also addressed legal immigration, encouraging those who wish to pursue the “American dream” to follow the law. She mentioned an opportunity for voluntary departure, suggesting that individuals who comply could have a path to return legally.

I’m Christine Noem , the United States Secretary of Homeland Security. Thank you, President Donald J. Trump, for securing our border, deporting criminal illegal immigrants, and putting America first.

President Trump has a clear message for those in our country illegally: Leave now. If you don’t, we will find you, and we will deport you. You will never return.

For too long, weak politicians left our borders wide open. They flooded our communities with drugs, human trafficking, and violent criminals. They put American lives at risk. Those days are over.

If you leave now, you may have an opportunity to return, enjoy our freedom, and live the American dream. But understand this: under President Trump, America’s borders are closed to lawbreakers.

Follow the law, and you’ll find opportunity. Break it, and you’ll find consequences. The choice is yours.

America welcomes those who respect our laws because a strong nation is a safe nation.

The video concluded with a firm stance on national security, with Noem asserting that a strong and safe country welcomes those who abide by its laws.
