• Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced that Operation Criminal Return in Florida resulted in the arrest of one hundred fifty individuals who entered the country illegally and who were identified as sexual predators targeting minors.

• The International Revolutionary Front was linked to a two thousand twelve shooting that wounded a nuclear engineering executive, demonstrating a long record of violent operations across Europe.
