DEPORTED: ICE Deports Child Abusers, Kidnappers, and Robbers

The Trump Administration will never apologize for deporting illegal aliens

WASHINGTON - The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released the following statement after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deported more illegal aliens last week, including those convicted of such crimes as child endangerment, kidnapping, and robbery.

"Last week, the hard-working men and women of ICE deported more illegal aliens from our country, including child abusers, kidnappers, and robbers," said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. "With so many illegal aliens deported from our country under President Trump's leadership, it's no wonder that crime rates have fallen to historic lows. The Trump Administration will never apologize for deporting illegal aliens and putting American citizens first."

The illegal aliens deported last week include:
