The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently arrested several individuals identified as criminal illegal aliens, including those convicted of violent crimes against children.
A DHS spokesperson stated, “President Trump and Secretary Noem unleashed ICE to target the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens. Yesterday, ICE arrested multiple child pedophiles and violent assailants. These are the type of thugs we’re getting off the streets and OUT OF OUR COUNTRY every single day. 70% of all ICE arrests are of criminal illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the United States. Americans can see for themselves what criminals have been removed from their community at WOW.DHS.Gov.”
Among those arrested were Jesus Acosta-Ichaurrondo from Mexico, convicted in Fullerton, California for rape by force or fear, sodomy by force or violence on a minor, solicitation of specified criminal acts while on bail, threatening a witness, and violating a protection order. Jaime Briseno Resendez from Mexico was convicted in Orange, California for continuous sexual abuse of a child, sodomy, oral copulation with a person under 14 years old, and lewd acts with a child under 14 years old.
Other arrests included Engelber Eduardo De Leon-Hernandez from Guatemala, convicted in Heber, Utah for sexual abuse of a child and enticing a minor; Daniel Salto from Ecuador, convicted in New York City for assault; and Jose Zamora Escalona from Cuba, convicted in Clewiston, Florida for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
