U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issued a series of posts on December 18, 2025, addressing federal immigration enforcement and highlighting specific cases involving non-citizens with criminal records.
In a post published at 00:31 UTC, ICE commented on Rep. Cohen’s knowledge of immigration laws, stating, "Wait until Rep. Cohen learns about federal immigration laws."
Later that morning, at 01:00 UTC, the agency reiterated its enforcement approach regarding unauthorized immigrants encountered during operations: "If you're an illegal alien and our ICE officers encounter you during a targeted operation — our officers will arrest you as well."
At 02:00 UTC, ICE referenced an individual case involving a Cuban national: "Cuban criminal alien Liliana Falcon Falcon has a slew of pending charges on her rap sheet and a 2024 burglary conviction."
ICE is the principal U.S. government agency responsible for enforcing immigration law within the country. The agency routinely conducts targeted operations to identify and detain individuals who are in violation of immigration statutes or have criminal convictions.
The reference to Rep. Cohen follows ongoing debates in Congress regarding the scope and execution of federal immigration policy. Targeted enforcement actions remain central to ICE’s operational strategy, particularly when individuals with prior criminal histories are involved.
