On August 6, 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers carried out arrests of several individuals described as criminal illegal aliens with convictions for violent assaults, sex crimes, and drug trafficking.
Secretary Kristi Noem commented on the situation: “Our brave ICE law enforcement are now facing a 1000% increase in assaults against them as they risk their lives to arrest the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens. These acts of violence are fueled by sanctuary politicians' rhetoric vilifying our law enforcement,” said Secretary Kristi Noem. “We will not and have not let this violence stop us or slow us down. Everyday our law enforcement continues to enforce the law and arrest the most depraved criminals including pedophiles, terrorists, murderers, gang members, and sexual predators. JOIN.ICE.GOV.”
Among those arrested were Osvaldo Rabiero-Alvarez from Cuba, convicted of aggravated assault in Jefferson County, Texas; Andres Guilarte from Cuba, convicted of trafficking cocaine and grand theft motor vehicle in Naples, Florida; Xiaoming Zhao from China, convicted of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance in Berks County, Pennsylvania; Andrew Kerr from Jamaica, convicted of assault in Brooklyn, New York; and Eduardo Soto-Fuentes from El Salvador, convicted of carnal knowledge of a juvenile and indecent behavior with a juvenile in Livingston, Louisiana.
The Department of Homeland Security is encouraging Americans interested in public safety and national service to consider careers with ICE.
