U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) posted a series of tweets on January 10, 2026, detailing recent enforcement actions and commemorative efforts related to crimes involving non-citizens.
In a tweet posted at 20:05 UTC, ICE announced the arrest of an Afghan national in New York: "ATTEMPTED HOMICIDE & FELONY ASSAULT
We arrested Afghan criminal illegal alien Waheed Allah Mohammad during a targeted operation on New Year’s Day in Rochester, NY.
He has a final removal order and was previously sentenced to 10 years in prison for his 2008 attempted homicide https://t.co/v63OUEs1Ud".
Later that day, at 21:51 UTC, ICE referenced the birthday of Laken Riley and its connection to ongoing enforcement operations: "Today would have been Laken Riley's 24th birthday had she not been brutally murdered by a criminal illegal alien who was released into the U.S. by the Biden administration.
ICE dedicated Operation Angels Honor in her memory — a successful enforcement and removal operation that https://t.co/WE3nA3HMLC".
A subsequent tweet at 21:59 UTC contained only a link without additional text: "https://t.co/r6XfhJIxBS".
The reference to Laken Riley connects to a widely reported case in which she was killed by an undocumented immigrant who had previously been detained but later released under current federal policies. This case has generated significant public discussion about immigration enforcement and detention procedures. The mention of "Operation Angels Honor" refers to an initiative launched by ICE targeting non-citizens with final orders of removal or those convicted of serious crimes for apprehension and deportation.
These statements reflect ICE's focus on public safety concerns linked to non-citizen crime and the agency's response through targeted operations.
