WORST OF THE WORST: ICE Arrests Murderers, Pedophiles, Sexual Predators, Drunk Drivers, and Drug Traffickers

If you are in our country illegally, we will find you, arrest you, and deport you

WASHINGTON -- Over the weekend, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested criminal illegal aliens across the country, convicted for heinous crimes including first-degree murder, DUI manslaughter, lewd or lascivious acts with a minor, sexual abuse, and drug trafficking.

"While Americans enjoyed their weekend, the patriots of ICE worked around the clock to remove murderers, drunk drivers, pedophiles, sexual predators, drug traffickers, and other public safety threats from our communities," said Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin. "Every single day, ICE continues to supercharge our efforts to fulfill President Trump's mandate from the American people to arrest and remove illegal aliens from our country. If you are in our country illegally, you do not belong here. We will find you, arrest you, and deport you."
