Despite a 1,300% increase in assaults against them, ICE is working 24/7 to remove the worst of the worst from our communities
WASHINGTON -- U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the arrest of more worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from across the country, convicted of horrific crimes including human trafficking of a minor for commercial sex act, rape with force/violence, andpossession with intent to distribute a schedule I/II narcotic.
"Just yesterday, ICE arrested child sex traffickers, violent sexual predators, drug traffickers, and other public safety threats who have no business remaining in our country," said Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. "Sanctuary politicians' anti-ICE rhetoric has contributed to our officers facing a more than 1,300% increase in assaults against them. Despite these smears, ICE will continue to get criminals off our streets. Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, DHS is putting Americans first."
