Cannibal expelled tried to eat himself during his flight, says the secretary of the DHS

An alleged cannibal incarcerated by federal agents tried to eat himself during an expulsion flight, said Kristi Noem, internal security secretary, at a press conference on Tuesday.

Speaking with journalists during a round table that included President Donald Trump and Florida Ron Desantis Governor, Noem said the bizarre incident was relayed to him by American marshals working with ice. The goal of the round table was to discuss the new illegal immigrant detention center “Alligator Alcatraz” in Florida.

While commenting on the need for increased deportation of dangerous illegal, Noem said that an alleged cannibal was trying to eat himself while he was detained, injuring him that required immediate medical care.

Noem said the incident illustrates how former President Joe Biden “left the worst of the worst here.”

“The other day, I spoke to certain marshals who sneak in Ice. They said they had held a cannibal and put it on an airplane to bring him home. And even if they had him in his seat, he started to eat himself, and they had to withdraw and make him attract medical care,” said the secretary.

“These are the kind of disturbed individuals who are in our streets in America that we are trying to target and get out of our country because they are so disturbed that they do not belong here,” continued Noem. “They should not walk in the streets with our children, and they should not live in communities with our families who just want to … raise their children to grow up and find a job, and live the American dream.”

“We are looking for murderers and rapists and traffickers and drug traffickers and bringing them out of the street and bringing them out of this country,” she said.

Noem thanked the application of laws and military personnel for helping to withdraw dangerous criminals from the United States and urged more governors to follow the responsibility of Desantis by associating the federal government on the application of immigration.

“I hope my phone is absence of governors who call and said,” How can we do what Florida has just done? How can we do exactly what they did? “” She said.

According to Noem, the illegal Florida Immigrant Destainment Center – “Alligator Alcatraz” – is a “advanced establishment” which will have 3000 beds and “will allow us to bring individuals across the country that we bring and we will embody for violation of our laws and make them immediately from the country as soon as possible.”
