The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested several individuals described as serious criminal illegal aliens, including those convicted of crimes such as indecent liberties with a child, domestic violence, and drug distribution.
"In one year, President Trump has made great strides delivering on the mandate from the American people to remove the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from our streets despite the complete lack of cooperation from sanctuary politicians and agitators who attempt to obstruct law enforcement—a felony and a federal crime," said Secretary Kristi Noem. "DHS has removed more than 670,000 illegal aliens including murderers, pedophiles, rapists, gang members, and terrorists from our country in one year. Just yesterday, ICE arrested pedophiles, domestic abusers, and drug traffickers. The more arrests DHS makes, the more self-deportations we see, of which we have seen north of 2 million. This is just the beginning of the golden age of America."
Among those recently arrested are:
- Uriel Hernandez-Betancourt from Mexico was convicted for indecent liberties with a child in Moore County, North Carolina.
- Parede Zuniga from Guatemala was convicted for distribution of cocaine in Fairfax County, Virginia.
- Lucio Valdovinos from Mexico was convicted for domestic violence in Los Angeles and had multiple convictions for driving under the influence and disorderly conduct across California.
- Carlos Chavez-Salas from Mexico was convicted of menacing in Denver, Colorado.
- Lorenzo Aviles-Macedo from Mexico was convicted for inflicting corporal injury on a spouse and driving under the influence in Los Angeles.
DHS stated that Americans can find further information about these arrests at wow.dhs.gov.
