DHS is keeping America safe through strong international partnerships.
Here’s how we’re advancing our mission together with key international partners. ⬇️
📌 Singapore
DHS personnel perform the DHS mission all around the world, including in Singapore. While in country, @SecMayorkas met with our personnel stationed in the region alongside @USAmbSG@RedWhiteBlueDot, to hear firsthand about the important work they perform each day.
“We are at a cyber crossroads.” @SecMayorkas delivered keynote remarks at the Singapore International Cyber Week Summit on addressing our shared global challenges to cybersecurity through collaboration. #SICW2022
.@SecMayorkas and @LawrenceWongST also had a productive visit in Singapore. Through the cyber dialogue, our law enforcement partnerships, and the Visa Waiver Program, 🇺🇸 DHS and 🇸🇬 Singapore have a strong and growing partnership for security in the Indo-Pacific.
.@SecMayorkas met with 🇸🇬 Minister @joteo_ylm & @CSASingapore Commissioner Koh to discuss our extensive work in #cyber & critical infrastructure. Through @CISAgov and CSA, we are expanding our collaboration to new areas, including connected communities and emerging technologies.
Next stop, @SecMayorkas joined @kshanmugam. Our work with the @mhasingapore, from our Home Team Academy partnership to our critical cybersecurity efforts with CSA, exemplifies the important relationship between the 🇺🇸 and 🇸🇬.
On the margins of #SICW2022, @SecMayorkas met with 🇹🇭 @prmdes_official to advance cyber cooperation via Thai National Security Agency’s 5-year plan. DHS has a strong partnership with Thailand in combating cybercrime & promoting digital access.
.@SecMayorkas also met with 🇻🇳 Vietnam’s Minister of Public Security to reaffirm our strong partnership with Vietnam for a free and open Indo-Pacific.
At the Port of Singapore, @SecMayorkas saw firsthand the partnership between @MPA_Signapore and @USCG to enhance ship safety and the security of the maritime transportation system.

SANCTUARY CALAMITY. There are currently 33,179 criminal illegal aliens in Gavin Newsom’s custody with active ICE detainers.
DHS is calling on @CAgovernor and California’s sanctuary politicians to stop shielding illegal alien murderers, sex offenders, and drug traffickers and turn them over to ICE.
Recent public safety threats released directly from California jails into American communities include:
Elvin Joel Centeno Verde, a criminal illegal alien from Honduras convicted of obstruction of police and arrested multiple times within the past five years for drug trafficking and drug sales. ICE lodged an immigration detainer that was not honored and he was released. On October 27, 2025, ICE apprehended Centeno and removed him from the United States.
Sara Hassanzadeh, a criminal illegal alien from Iran, arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and battery on an ex-spouse. On September 8, 2025, Hassanzadeh was booked into the San Diego Sheriff’s Office. ICE lodged an immigration detainer, which local authorities rejected and released Hassanzadeh back into the community.
While Hollywood celebrities embarrassed themselves trying to drum up hatred of @ICEgov officers from the Grammys, DHS law enforcement was hard at work arresting sex offenders, child abusers, and criminals convicted of assault in Minnesota.
Some of the criminals arrested during Operation Metro Surge on Friday and Saturday include:
Fong Vang, a criminal illegal alien from Laos convicted of receiving stolen property and property damage.
Ernesto Alexander Dominguez-Cruz, a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador convicted for assault, disorderly conduct, and driving under the influence.
Operation Metro Surge continues to remove criminal illegal aliens from the neighborhoods of Minnesota. We are putting Minnesotans FIRST and getting violent criminals out of our communities.
The brave agents of @ICEgov risk their lives every day to arrest and deport the WORST of the WORST.
Those we’ve recently arrested in Minnesota include:
Bee Yang, a criminal illegal alien from Thailand, convicted of first-degree kidnapping, assault on a law enforcement officer with a firearm, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and larceny.
Wilson Johny Encalada Molina, a criminal illegal alien from Ecuador, charged with rape in the third-degree of a minor and convicted of endangering the welfare of a child.
Every single day ICE law enforcement officers are risking their lives to arrest murderers, pedophiles, rapists, gang members, and terrorists from American neighborhoods.
See for yourself the worst of the worst @ICEgov arrested yesterday:
Julio Noyola-Campos, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, convicted of trafficking a schedule I controlled substance in Wake County, North Carolina.
Felipe Avila-Jimenez, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, convicted of importation of methamphetamine in Carlsbad, California.
On day one, President Trump unleashed ICE to target the WORST OF THE WORST criminal illegal aliens.
Since January 20, 2025, ICE has taken enforcement action against dangerous criminal illegal aliens, pedophiles, murderers, gang members and terrorists including:
Khor Bozorov, a criminal illegal alien from Uzbekistan wanted in his origin country for belonging to a terrorist organization. ICE arrested Bozorov in Kansas on November 9, while he was working as a commercial truck driver.
Jaan Shah Safi, an Afghan national who entered the United States under Joe Biden’s “Operation Allies Welcome.” He provided support to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria-Khorasan (ISIS-K), and his father is a commander of a militia group in Afghanistan. ICE arrested Safi in Waynesboro, Virginia in December 2025.
