U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has announced the recent arrest of several individuals described as criminal illegal aliens, convicted of serious offenses including child sex crimes, extortion, and intoxicated manslaughter.
According to ICE, 70% of its arrests involve non-citizens who have been charged with or convicted of a crime in the United States.
A Senior Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Official stated, “Every single day, our brave ICE law enforcement risk their lives to arrest the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens. From pedophiles to drunk drivers killing innocent people, President Trump and Secretary Noem will not allow criminal illegal aliens to terrorize American citizens. Our message to criminal illegals is clear: LEAVE NOW. If you don’t, we will find you and we will deport you.”
The individuals arrested include Jose Luis Gonzalez-Montiel, a 39-year-old citizen of Mexico convicted for intoxicated manslaughter in Bexar County, Texas; Viroth Phannavong, a 58-year-old from Laos convicted of first degree child molestation in Providence, Rhode Island; Meljim Ramirez-Perez, a 40-year-old from Guatemala convicted of continuous sex abuse of a child in Los Angeles; Andre Etienne, a 35-year-old from Jamaica convicted of child molestation in Conyers, Georgia; and Zhiping Liu, a 45-year-old from China convicted of theft by extortion in Brookville, Pennsylvania.
