WOW.DHS.GOV: ICE Arrests Gang Members, Rapists, and Kidnappers

Under the leadership of President Trump and Secretary Noem, DHS is delivering the most secure border ever, removing dangerous illegal aliens and making America safer for generations to come

WASHINGTON -- U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the arrest of more public safety threats including gang members, rapists, and kidnappers.

"Yesterday, ICE arrested public safety threats across the country, including a Known Suspected Terrorist and MS-13 gang member convicted of murder," said Deputy Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. "Nearly 70% of ICE arrests are of illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the United States. This statistic does not even count foreign fugitives, terrorists, and human rights abusers who lack a rap sheet in the U.S. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, ICE is putting AMERICANS first."

Yesterday's arrests include:
