U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has announced the recent arrest of several individuals described as serious criminal offenders who are in the United States illegally. The agency stated that about 70% of its arrests involve individuals charged with or convicted of crimes in the country.
According to ICE, those arrested include people convicted of offenses such as continuous sexual abuse of a child, second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, and aggravated assault.
“Yesterday, our law enforcement arrested monsters who sexually abused and raped children. These are the type of sickos we are getting OUT of our neighborhoods,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “We are not going to allow criminal illegal aliens to prey on children and victimize innocent Americans. If you come to our country illegally and break our laws, we will hunt you down, arrest you, and remove you from our country.”
Among those arrested were Leonel Antonio Carranza Nunez from Mexico, convicted in Santa Ana, California for continuous sexual abuse of a child; Lazaro Sebastian Chiroy-Ticum from Guatemala, convicted in Williamson County, Texas for sexual assault of a child; Wilman Rodas-Argueta from Honduras, convicted in Robeson County, North Carolina for second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor; Alejandro Flores-Amador from Mexico, convicted in Provo, Utah for aggravated assault; and Nerlin Jhonatan Perez-Amaya from Honduras, convicted in Grand Junction, Colorado for unlawful electronic sexual communication.
