Nearly 70% of ICE arrests are illegal aliens who are charged with or convicted of a crime in the United States

WASHINGTON –– U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced today the arrest of more criminal illegal aliens across the country, convicted of heinous crimes including murder, lewd or lascivious acts with a child, and attempted trafficking of opium and/or heroin.

“Yesterday, ICE arrested criminal illegal alien murderers, pedophiles, and drug traffickers,” said Deputy Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “These are the types of thugs our officers are arresting and removing from American neighborhoods.

Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, we are putting the safety of American citizens FIRST.”
