U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the recent arrest of several individuals described as criminal illegal aliens, who were convicted of crimes such as child sex offenses, assault with a deadly weapon, and drug trafficking.
Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin commented on the arrests, stating: “Yesterday, the brave men and women of ICE arrested heinous criminal illegal aliens convicted for sex crimes against children, felony battery, and one monster convicted for SIX offenses including a hit-and-run and grand theft. There is absolutely no reason these violent criminals should remain in this country. While sanctuary politicians and activist judges release criminals into our communities, our law enforcement officers are risking their lives to remove public safety threats from American neighborhoods.”
Among those arrested was Juan Eulises Garcia-Alvarado from El Salvador, convicted in Suffolk County, New York for possessing sexual performance by a child under 16 years old. Martin Rodriguez-Hernandez from Mexico was also arrested; he had been convicted for aggravated sexual assault of a child in Hidalgo County, Texas.
Jose Lopez-Arevalo from El Salvador faced multiple convictions in California’s Contra Costa and Alameda counties, including assault with a deadly weapon, vehicle hit-and-run, false imprisonment, grand theft, evading police, and driving under the influence. Jose Garcia-Acevedo from Mexico was arrested after being convicted of felony battery in Wildwood, Florida. Juventino Madrigal-Oseguera from Mexico was also apprehended following his conviction for conspiring to traffic cocaine in Guilford County, North Carolina.
ICE noted that more information about similar arrests can be found on its WOW.DHS.Gov webpage.
