GANGBUSTERS: DHS Highlights Dangerous Illegal Alien Gang Members Recently Deported

80% of Americans support our commonsense efforts to deport criminal illegals from our communities

WASHINGTON - The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released the following statement after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deported multiple dangerous illegal alien gang members, whose criminal histories include murder, sexual assault, burglary, and driving under the influence.

"Every day, the brave men and women of ICE are arresting and removing dangerous criminal illegal aliens, including gang members, from our country," said a DHS Spokesperson. "Last week alone, ICE deported murderers, sexual assailants, burglars, and drunk drivers. Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, the safety of the American people will always come first. It's no wonder crime rates have reached record lows, including the murder rate projected to fall to a 126-year low!"
