U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced on Mar. 11 the arrest of several criminal illegal aliens across the country who have been convicted of serious offenses, including attempted murder, sexual assault with a weapon, aggravated kidnapping, and assault on a pregnant woman.
The announcement highlights ICE's ongoing efforts to remove individuals convicted of violent crimes from American communities. The agency said these actions are part of broader law enforcement operations aimed at improving public safety.
Deputy Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said, “Yesterday, ICE arrested criminal illegal alien attempted murderers, sexual assailants, kidnappers, and a criminal who assaulted a pregnant woman. These are the types of monsters our officers are arresting and removing from American neighborhoods. While sanctuary politicians demonize ICE law enforcement, our officers continue to risk their lives to remove criminals from our communities. Under President Trump, the murder rate has reached a 125-year-low.”
Among those arrested were Alejandro Cuatla-Torres in Hudson County, New Jersey for attempted murder; Flavio Martinez-Alfonsin in Cook County, Illinois for sexual assault with a weapon and other charges; Epigmenio Bustillos-Marquez in Iron County, Utah for aggravated kidnapping; Oscar Rene Almanza-Gutierrez in McLennan County, Texas for assault against a pregnant woman; and Carlos Ramirez-Rojas in Rockford, Illinois for attempted arson.
ICE encouraged Americans to visit its webpage WOW.DHS.Gov to see more information about public safety threats arrested in their communities.
The agency’s recent actions reflect an ongoing focus on targeting individuals with serious criminal backgrounds as part of its mission to enhance community safety.
