U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the arrest of several individuals described as pedophiles, sex offenders, and violent criminals in various American communities. The arrests were carried out by ICE officers in multiple cities across the country.
“It is sickening to see how many pedophiles, sex offenders, and violent thugs were allowed to roam our streets and prey on Americans. Every single day ICE arrests these criminals and is removing them from our country,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “President Trump and Secretary Noem are calling on patriotic Americans who want to help remove these sickos from our country to apply to become at ICE officer at JOIN.ICE.GOV.”
Among those arrested were Leonardo Pop-Coc, a Guatemalan national and registered sex offender convicted of sexual activity with a minor in San Dimas, California; Alejandro Flores-Martinez, a Mexican national convicted of first-degree sexual abuse in Butler County, Missouri; Edgar Agustin Gonzalez-Hernandez, a Mexican national convicted of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in Amarillo, Texas; Ricardo Perez-Valdiviezo, a Mexican national convicted of robbery in Deaf Smith County, Texas; and Wilberth Maldecino, a Philippine national convicted of attempted lewdness with a child in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has encouraged Americans interested in public safety and law enforcement careers to consider applying for positions at ICE through join.ice.gov.
