U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) posted a series of updates on December 12, 2025, regarding enforcement actions and officer safety statistics.
In one post, ICE announced the arrest of an individual in Los Angeles: "ICE @EROLosAngeles arrested Mexican criminal illegal alien Ponciano Moreno Moreno Nov. 29. His criminal history features multiple convictions, including DUI and beating his spouse." This tweet was published on December 12, 2025.
A subsequent post emphasized ICE's ongoing efforts to remove individuals with criminal backgrounds from the United States: "ICE will continue to ensure criminal illegal aliens go their separate ways from America." This statement was also made on December 12, 2025.
In another update shared later that day, ICE highlighted a significant increase in assaults against its personnel: "1,170%+ increase in assaults against our BRAVE ICE officers and agents." The agency did not provide additional context or data sources for this statistic within the tweet itself.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is a federal agency responsible for enforcing immigration laws and investigating related criminal activity. The agency routinely reports on arrests of individuals with prior convictions as part of its public communication strategy. ICE has faced scrutiny and debate over its policies concerning removals and community safety initiatives.
