Arrests include criminal illegal alien with charges of homicide, sexual assault, and kidnapping

WASHINGTON - Yesterday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) began Operation Catahoula Crunch in New Orleans, targeting criminal illegal aliens to get them out of American communities.

"Americans should be able to live without fear of violent criminal illegal aliens harming them, their families, or their neighbors. In just 24 hours on the ground, our law enforcement officers have arrested violent criminals with rap sheets that include homicide, kidnapping, child abuse, robbery, theft, and assault," said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. "President Trump and Secretary Noem will stand up to protect American families when sanctuary politicians won't. If you see a law enforcement officer today, thank them."
