The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has recently arrested several individuals described as criminal illegal aliens who were convicted of serious crimes, including aggravated sexual assault of a child, possession of obscene material involving a minor, and conspiracy to distribute cocaine.
According to DHS, about 70% of ICE arrests involve noncitizens who have been charged with or convicted of crimes in the United States.
Assistant Tricia McLaughlin stated, “As Democrat politicians try to bamboozle the American public and assert DHS law enforcement is not targeting the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens, our brave ICE law enforcement are putting their lives on the line to remove pedophiles, drug traffickers, and other violent thugs from American neighborhoods. We are not going to allow these heinous criminals to terrorize innocent American children and families.”
Recent ICE arrests highlighted by DHS include Guillermo Alberto Guevara-Serrano from El Salvador, convicted for aggravated sexual assault of a child in Dallas County, Texas; Rafi Fouad Tomeh from Syria, convicted for possession of obscene material involving a minor in Los Angeles, California; Orville C. Weir from Jamaica, convicted for lewd or lascivious acts with a minor in Broward County, Florida; Andre Lubala from Congo, convicted for aggravated assault in Niota, Tennessee; and Alex Lopez-Cruz from Mexico, convicted for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine in Austin, Texas.
