U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reported the arrest of several individuals described as "the worst of the worst" criminal illegal aliens. The arrests, which took place on August 11, included people convicted of serious crimes such as murder, robbery, child sexual assault, and forcible sodomy.
“Just yesterday, Rachel Morin’s murderer—an illegal alien from El Salvador—was convicted and sentenced to life in prison without parole. The same day, ICE arrested a murderer, pedophiles, and sexual predators,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “ICE law enforcement is working around the clock to protect Americans from vile criminals who should have never been in our country in the first place. Yesterday’s arrests are yet another example of how President Trump and Secretary Noem continue to prioritize AMERICANS over criminal illegal aliens.”
Among those arrested were Juan Carlos Albardo-Relles, a 42-year-old from Honduras with a conviction for aggravated assault of a child in Harris County, Texas; Gabriel Figueroa-Gama, a 69-year-old from Mexico convicted of murder in Chicago; Rodolfo Sagastume-Avolos, a 50-year-old from Guatemala convicted for murder intention in Poughkeepsie, New York; Luis Galavis-De La Rosa, a 30-year-old from Mexico with convictions for robbery and possession of a weapon in Queens, New York; and Francisco Perez-Gonzalez, a 24-year-old from Guatemala convicted for sodomy by force in Riverside, California.
The Department of Homeland Security is encouraging individuals interested in public safety and national service to consider careers at ICE through their recruitment site join.ice.gov.
