U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested several individuals convicted of serious crimes on July 31 in various locations across the United States.
According to Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis, “Just yesterday, ICE arrested multiple murderers, pedophiles, sexual deviants, drug traffickers, and other dangerous criminal illegal aliens from our communities. Under the leadership of President Trump, ICE is making our nation safer by removing criminal illegal aliens from our communities. When you remove criminal illegal aliens like these from our country, crime rates fall and the American people are SAFER.”
The arrests included Bogdan Detrovich Gren from Ukraine, who was convicted for murder, kidnapping, and abduction resulting in death in Queens, New York; Mohamed Kabor from Sudan, who was convicted for homicide – murder and obstruction of justice in Salt Lake City, Utah; Fredy Leonel Alveno-Contreras from Guatemala, who was convicted for sex abuse of a minor: house/family and second-degree rape in Baltimore, Maryland; Roberto Flores-Gonzalez from Mexico, who was convicted for predatory criminal sexual assault in Chicago, Illinois; and Elier Diaz-Perez from Cuba, who was convicted for drug trafficking in Miami, Florida.
Nearly 70% of ICE arrests are of individuals charged or convicted of a crime while present illegally in the U.S., according to information released by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
