U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the recent arrest of several individuals described as criminal illegal aliens with convictions for serious offenses, including child sexual abuse, sexual assault, murder, and robbery. According to ICE, these arrests occurred despite the ongoing government shutdown.
Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated, "Every day, and despite the Democrats’ government shutdown, our ICE officers are arresting pedophiles, sexual assailants, murderers and violent criminals. It is unimaginable to think sanctuary politicians put these monsters and sickos over their own constituents. American citizens deserve better. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, we are making America safe again one depraved criminal illegal alien removal at a time."
The individuals arrested include Alejandro Gonzalez-Ortiz from Mexico, convicted of a lewd or lascivious act with a child under 14 in Santa Ana, California; Froilan Mejia-Olvera from Mexico, convicted of sexual assault in Collin County, Texas; Juan Enamorado-Leiva from Honduras, convicted of second degree murder in Durham County, North Carolina; Jose Alfredo Gomez-Vallecios from El Salvador, convicted of robbery in Los Angeles County, California; and Quoc Ky Luong from Vietnam, convicted of robbery in Pasadena, California.
ICE continues its enforcement activities across the United States during the government shutdown.
