U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has announced the arrest of several individuals described as high-priority criminal illegal aliens, following a recent increase in agency personnel. The agency stated that it has hired over 12,000 new officers, marking what it calls a historic 120% rise in manpower to target and remove individuals with serious criminal convictions.
A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said, “President Trump and Secretary Noem built a larger, stronger ICE for one reason: to make America safe again. Every day our officers put their lives on the line to arrest the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from American neighborhoods. One of yesterday’s arrests includes a monster with 13 convictions for indecency with a child. These types of sickos have no right to be in our country and prey on innocent children. Thanks to President Trump and Secretary Noem, this pedophile will soon be OUT of our country.”
Among those arrested were Raul Gonzalez-Lopez from Mexico, who was convicted on 13 counts of indecency with a child in Guadalupe County, Texas; Jose Ignacio Carchi-Saquipulla from Ecuador, convicted for assault in Queens, New York; Juan Pineda-Betancourth from Mexico, convicted of conspiracy to distribute crystal meth in Little Rock, Arkansas; Duniesky Eugenio Delgado-Gazo from Cuba, convicted for aggravated assault in Pensacola, Florida; and Jose Mendoza from El Salvador, convicted for a criminal sexual act in Riverhead, New York.
ICE indicated that these actions are part of ongoing efforts to remove individuals they consider threats due to past violent or drug-related offenses. Additional information about recent arrests is available at wow.dhs.gov.
