WASHINGTON - Today, the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested more than 10,000 gang members during President Donald J. Trump's second term.

Secretary Mullin is delivering on President Trump's mandate to make America safe again. These 10,000 criminals committed heinous crimes including murder, assault with a deadly weapon, drug trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, robbery, and extortion.

"Under President Trump's leadership, ICE has arrested more than 10,000 gang members," said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. "Many of these gang members were released into our country by Joe Biden. These vicious criminals murdered, assaulted, robbed, and terrorized innocent Americans for sport. Thanks to the Secure America Act, ICE is turbocharged to arrest even more gang members and criminals from American neighborhoods."
