U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has announced the arrest of several individuals described as "worst of the worst" criminal illegal aliens from different parts of the United States. These arrests include people convicted of crimes such as sexual exploitation of a child, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and drug trafficking.
Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated, “Every single day ICE law enforcement officers are risking their lives to arrest murderers, pedophiles, rapists, gang members, and terrorists from American neighborhoods. Just yesterday, we arrested pedophiles, violent assailants, and drug traffickers from our streets. 70% of ICE arrests are of illegal aliens charged with or convicted of a crime in the U.S. With each arrest of these criminals, ICE law enforcement officers are saving American lives. See for yourself what criminals have been removed from your community at WOW.DHS.Gov.”
