DHS Secretary Calls For Death Penalty For 2 Alleged Human Smugglers

Updated: May 8, 2025
 
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is requesting the death penalty for two alleged human smugglers from Mexico.

“Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, alien smuggling acts that result in death are capital crimes punishable by death,” Noem explained in a statement Tuesday evening. “And under the Federal Death Penalty Act, those who intentionally participate in conduct knowing that it could result in the loss of life may be eligible for capital punishment,” she added. 

A small boat that was originally carrying 16 people capsized off the coast of San Diego on Monday, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The U.S. Coast Guard recovered three deceased Indian nationals. Another seven people are missing. Two of the survivors are Mexican nationals who have been detained on charges of alien smuggling.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Did she check with a federal judge to see if the proper due process guarantees are proper? :whistle:
