U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has reported the arrest of several individuals described as criminal illegal aliens who have been convicted of crimes such as sexual battery against minors, child enticement, and drug trafficking.
Deputy Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis stated, “Yesterday, ICE arrested some of the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens, including pedophiles, child predators, drug traffickers, and other monsters. During Secretary Noem’s hearing on the hill, Representative Steve Cohen yelled over her as she discussed removing the worst of the worst from our communities and the impact of illegal alien crime on American families. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, we are putting the safety of American citizens FIRST.”
The arrests include Claudio Elisco Perez-Pojoy from Guatemala, convicted in Nashville for sexual battery involving a victim under 13 years old; Ruben Adonay Vasquez-Oliva from Honduras, convicted in Ogden for unlawful sexual activity with a minor; Win Naing from Burma, convicted in Douglas County for sexual assault on a child and criminal child enticement; Saul Tapia-Sanchez from Mexico, convicted in Texas for importation of cocaine; and Phonesack Xaiyavong from Thailand, convicted in Fresno for possession of a firearm as a felon.
