ASHINGTON - The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released the following statement highlighting the worst illegal aliens arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the state of Texas, including those convicted for crimes such as manslaughter, drug trafficking, burglary, and driving while intoxicated.

"Few states felt the pain of Biden's open borders more than the great state of Texas," said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. "Now, thanks to President Trump's leadership as well as cooperation from state and local partners in the Lone Star State, ICE has been unleashed to target and remove dangerous illegal aliens from Texas, including killers, drug traffickers, burglars, and drunk drivers. Our borders are now closed, and America is no longer a safe haven for illegal aliens."
