Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, ICE has been unleashed to arrest and remove illegal aliens from American communities
WASHINGTON -- Yesterday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested more worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens, including those convicted for sexual assault of a child, forcible sexual abuse, cocaine possession, and other despicable crimes.
"Yesterday, ICE arrested pedophiles, sexual predators, thieves, and other dangerous public safety threats in our communities," said Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin. "Under President Trump's leadership, crime rates across the country have plummeted to historic lows. It is common sense. When you remove illegal aliens from the country, Americans will be safer."
Yesterday's arrests include:
Ervin Jose Diaz-Gramajo, a criminal illegal alien from Guatemala, convicted for TEN counts of sexual assault - carnal knowledge of a child 13-14 years old in Accomack County, Virginia.
Giuber Johan Rodriguez-Antunez, a criminal illegal alien from Honduras, convicted for sexual assault of a child in Houston, Texas.
Kevin David Barron-Esqueda, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, convicted for forcible sexual abuse in Provo, Utah.
Elvis Vargas-Murillo, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, convicted for fraud, cocaine possession, parole violation, narcotic equipment possession, and illegal re-entry in the U.S. District Court of Arizona.
Ramona Del Rosario Silva-Gacitua, a criminal illegal alien from Chile, convicted for grand theft, conspiracy to commit burglary and theft by forgery in Ventura, California.
