Yesterday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carried out arrests of several individuals described as criminal illegal aliens, despite the ongoing government shutdown attributed to the Democratic Party. ICE stated that those arrested include people convicted of crimes such as sexual assault of a child, negligent homicide, assault, carjacking, and other violent offenses.
Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin commented on the operation, saying, “Our brave ICE law enforcement officers are heroes who risk their lives to remove the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from American communities. Yesterday’s arrests included illegal aliens and gang members convicted of heinous crimes including the sexual assault of a child, negligent homicide, assault, and carjacking. Nothing will deter ICE from making America safe again. Not the Democrats’ government shutdown, terrorist attacks against them, or even bounties for their murders.”
Among those arrested were Angel Gabriel Ramirez-Robles from Mexico, convicted for sexual assault of a child in Hidalgo County, Texas; Francisco Felipe-Juan from Guatemala, convicted for criminally negligent homicide and assault in Dekalb County, Alabama; Everado Garcia-Martinez from Mexico, identified as a Barrio Van Nuys gang member, convicted for carjacking and evading police in Van Nuys, California; Antonio Cervantes-Barberena from Mexico, convicted for conspiracy to distribute drugs in the Southern District of Iowa; and Nancy Zuleira Aviles-Gomez from Mexico, convicted for escape from custody in Louisville, Kentucky.
