U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has announced the arrest of several individuals described as some of the most dangerous criminal illegal aliens in the United States. The arrests took place across different states and involved people convicted of serious crimes such as child rape, homicide, arson, and burglary.
Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated, "Our ICE law enforcement put their lives on the line every single day to arrest the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens. Yesterday’s arrests included child rapists, murderers, and arsonists." She added, "What the media and sanctuary politicians do not want the American public to know is 70% of ICE arrests are of criminal illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the U.S. Despite comparisons to the Gestapo and an 8000% increase in death threats, our officers show up every day and arrest heinous criminals from American communities."
Among those arrested were Eduardo Salgado-Martinez from Mexico, convicted of first-degree rape of a child in Benton County, Washington; Fermin Flores-Ramales from Mexico, convicted of rape in New York City; Khanh Tuan Pham from Vietnam, convicted of homicide, conspiracy, vehicle theft, and receiving stolen property in San Diego; Miguel Molina-Palacios from El Salvador, convicted of arson in Queens; and Everado Javier Sanchez-Rivera from Mexico, convicted of burglary in Harris County, Texas.
ICE reported that about 70 percent of its arrests involve non-citizens who have been charged with or found guilty of crimes within the United States.
