ICE continues to remove ‘Worst of the Worst’ throughout June

WASHINGTON - During the week ending June 12, ICE removed several criminal illegal aliens convicted of crimes ranging from sexual assault of children to drug possession and murder.

"ICE protects the American public by removing as many dangerous and violent criminals as we possibly can, using every resource at our disposal," said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Executive Associate Director Marcos Charles. "DHS has removed or returned nearly 900,000 illegal aliens since Jan. 20, 2025. ICE removal flights, including those conducted in partnership with the Department of War, help ensure these criminal illegal aliens are out of our communities and cannot threaten our families, friends or neighbors."

Approximately 70% of the aliens ICE arrests have criminal histories.

Those removed include the following:

  • Francis Polycarpe, a criminal illegal alien from the Bahamas convicted of attempted sexual assaulting on a child. He entered the U.S. on a B-2 visa in 2001. In 2018, Polycarpe was convicted in the District Court of Douglas County, Nebraska, for the attempted sexual assault on a child.
  • Pedro Antonio Luna, a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador convicted of sexual assault of a minor child-relative. He entered the U.S. illegally in 1998. He was granted temporary protected status in 2002, which was terminated in 2007. He was ordered removed by a Department of Justice immigration judge in April 2026.
  • Jose Miguel Chavarria-Cruz, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico convicted of second-degree murder and aggravated robbery. He is an active member of the Surenos 13 gang and entered the U.S. illegally in 1996.
  • Luis Campusano, a criminal illegal alien from the Dominican Republic convicted of sexual abuse and rape. He was ordered removed by a Department of Justice immigration judge in November 2025.
  • Nestor Hugo Gomez Garcia, a criminal illegal alien from Colombia convicted of conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute cocaine. He was paroled into the U.S. for criminal prosecution in 2022.

Criminal illegal aliens are unwelcome in the United States and will be removed as quickly as possible after receiving full due process.
