Nearly 70% of ICE arrests are of illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the U.S.
WASHINGTON - Yesterday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested more criminal illegal aliens convicted for horrific crimes including murder, aggravated assault, battery, conspiracy to commit bank and mail fraud, and burglary.
"Every single day we deal with sanctuary cities and sanctuary states turning criminals that are illegal aliens out on the streets," said Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin. "All we're trying to do is protect our homeland, and all we want is cooperation. But some of these crazy liberal mayors, judges, prosecuting attorneys, and governors are protecting criminals instead of protecting you."
Yesterday's arrests include:
Jose Luis Mata-Flores, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, convicted for murder in Los Angeles, California.
Nhan Tu Hoang, a criminal illegal alien from Vietnam, convicted for murder in Jefferson County, Texas.
Luis Alonso Serrano-Sarmiento, a criminal illegal alien from Honduras and member of the 18th Street Gang, convicted for possession of a weapon, TWO counts of aggravated assault with a weapon, battery, conspiracy to commit weapon trafficking, and conspiracy to commit cocaine sell in Boston, Massachusetts.
