U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers have arrested several individuals described as "worst of the worst" criminal illegal aliens, according to a statement released by the agency. The arrests took place on August 28, 2025, and involved people convicted of serious crimes such as homicide, rape, cruelty toward a child, and breaking and entering.
“These vicious murderers, pedophiles, rapists, and violent criminals have no place in this country,” said a Senior DHS official. “We’ve said it before, and we’ll keep saying it: If you come to our country illegally and break our laws, we WILL find you, arrest, you, and deport you. The days of letting dangerous criminals terrorize American citizens are over. President Trump and Secretary Noem will continue to do everything in their power to fulfill the American people’s mandate to remove the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from our country.”
The list of those arrested includes Marvin Antonio Salmon from Jamaica who was convicted for homicide and assault in Hartford, Connecticut; Trung Tran from Vietnam who was convicted for first degree rape, cruelty toward a child, rape with a weapon, sodomy, and aggravated assault in Oklahoma County; Tomas Pablo-Ramos from Guatemala who was convicted for sexual assault of a child in Dallam County, Texas; Santos J. Flores from El Salvador who was convicted for criminal sexual acts in Suffolk County, New York; and Kent Orozco-Martinez from Colombia who was convicted for felony breaking and entering in Wake County, North Carolina.
All individuals are currently held by ICE pending removal proceedings under U.S. immigration law.
