WORST OF THE WORST: ICE Arrests Murderers, Rapists, and Pedophiles

Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, DHS has been empowered to enforce our nation's laws and make American safe again

WASHINGTON - Yesterday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested more worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens across the country, including those convicted for heinous crimes such as homicide, drug-induced rape, and continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14 years old.

"Yesterday, ICE arrested murderers, rapists, pedophiles, and other public safety threats who should have never been in this country to begin with," said Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin. "Thanks to decisive action from President Trump, the patriots of ICE are empowered to do their job and remove illegal aliens from our communities. Too many American lives have been ended by preventable illegal alien crime. ICE will not rest until every illegal alien is arrested and removed from the U.S."

Yesterday's arrests include:

Ottmar Johnson, a criminal illegal alien from Jamaica, convicted for homicide and weapons offense in Prince George's County, Maryland.

Apolinar Meza-Ponce, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, convicted for attempted first-degree murder in Joliet, Illinois.

Francisco Roman-Mencias, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, convicted for rape - drug-induced in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Marco Julio Sandoval, a criminal illegal alien from Guatemala, convicted for continuous sexual abuse of child; lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14 years old in San Bernardino, California.

Matheus Abner De Souza-Soares, a criminal illegal alien from Brazil, convicted for illicit sexual contact - victim under 13 years old in Enfield, Connecticut.
