The masked man who stole DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s purse while she was dining at a restaurant in D.C. on Easter Sunday has just been arrested.
At this time, not many details about the suspect’s identity have been released. However, we do know that he is an illegal immigrant.
A second illegal alien suspect involved in the thievery is still on the run.

The New York Post reported:
An illegal immigrant was arrested Saturday for stealing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s pricey Gucci bag containing $3,000 in cash and other personal items – and a second migrant suspect is still on the loose, according to sources.
Noem, 53, was on an Easter outing with her family at The Capital Burger in Washington, DC, when the hooded masked thief stole the luxury shoulder bag, which also contained her driver’s license, passport, DHS badge and apartment keys on April 20.
The suspect, whose identity was not immediately available, was busted by the DC Metro Police and the Secret Service, sources said.
The perp, who is believed to be part of a large east coast robbery crew, is expected to appear in court early next week as law enforcement hunt for his accomplice, sources said.
The suspect who was arrested Saturday in the theft of Secretary Kristi Noem’s purse is in the country illegally, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia said in an interview with NBC News.
Ed Martin said a second suspect who also is in the country illegally is being sought by law enforcement.
It is not believed the suspect targeted Noem because she was the Department of Homeland Security secretary, Martin said.
“There is no indication it was because of that. It was frankly, it was a nice looking purse,” Martin said, in a recorded telephone interview.
In the call, Martin said Immigration and Customs Enforcement is now involved.
“President Trump’s direction to us is we charge these folks that are here illegally and we prosecute them, as well as deport them when need be, you know, as soon as that can happen,” Martin said, adding, “What I can tell you is he won’t be back on the streets in America.”
The person who took the bag knew what he was doing, Martin said.
“This was not an amateur. This was a person, a thief, that knew how to do this. You could see how he scouted the room out.”
No further information about the man’s identity was available.
The unnamed suspect’s trial could happen this week.
El Salvador’s CECOT could have a new prisoner very soon…
