U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has announced the arrest of several individuals described as criminal illegal aliens, convicted of serious offenses such as sexual abuse of a minor, rape, and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
According to Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, “Even while facing an 8000% increase in death threats against them, the brave men and women of ICE work tirelessly to get these worst of the worst offenders off our streets and out of country. Yesterday’s arrests include criminal illegal aliens convicted of some of the worst crimes imaginable, including sexual abuse of a minor. These heinous criminals have no business remaining in the country any longer, and we thank President Trump and Secretary Noem for unleashing ICE to protect American communities.”
Among those arrested are Jose Rivera-Medrano from El Salvador, convicted for sexual abuse of a minor in Rockville, Maryland; Milton Antunez-Bonilla from Honduras, convicted for sex assault against a 15-year-old child in Nassau County, New York; Aaron Comisario-Galicia from Mexico, convicted for rape in Los Angeles, California; Juan Raul Chavez-Reyes from Mexico, convicted for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in Erath County, Texas; and Joseph Perez-De La Cruz from Mexico, convicted for conspiracy to transport illegal aliens placing lives in jeopardy in Del Rio, Texas.
ICE stated that its operations have continued despite what it described as "the Democrats’ longest government shutdown in American history."
