Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem<\/a> spoke out after Bad Bunny, Billie Eilish and other celebrities bashed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at the Grammy Awards, telling Fox News Digital that their criticism is “ill-informed.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I wish they knew what wonderful, amazing people our ICE officers are. Many of these officers live in these communities where they are doing enforcement activities,” Noem told Fox News Digital during an interview at a Mississippi National Guard facility in Tupelo on Monday. The secretary was visiting the governor, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) officials and military members in the aftermath of Winter Storm Fern.<\/p>\n

“Their families live there and that\u2019s\u00a0their neighbors they are protecting by getting dangerous criminals off\u00a0the streets. They are going after those murderers\u00a0and\u00a0rapists, people that are trafficking drugs, and protecting America,” Noem continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“That is what President Trump said he would do, he said he would make us safer, and he has done that. We have reached historic lows in crime rates in this country, the lowest rate of murder and crime since we have been recording it for over 100 years,” Noem also told Fox News Digital. “So it’s real results, people are feeling it in their communities, and it\u2019s too bad that ill-informed famous musicians make statements like that without truly knowing what great Americans\u00a0our\u00a0ICE and Border Patrol officers<\/a> are.”<\/p>\n
