WORST OF THE WORST: ICE Arrests Rapists, Violent Assailants, and Drug Traffickers

Thanks to President Trump, law and order is back

WASHINGTON - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the arrest of more worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens yesterday, including those convicted for rape, assault with a firearm, possession of a controlled drug with intent to distribute, and other despicable crimes.

"Under President Trump's leadership, ICE is arresting illegal aliens every single day, and at a historic pace. Yesterday, ICE arrested rapists, violent assailants, drug dealers, and other criminal illegal aliens who should have never been in our communities in the first place," said Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin. "Even while facing threats, doxxing, and assaults, our officers and agents are making America safe again, and we will always stand up for them. We will never apologize for putting the safety of the American people first."

Yesterday's arrests include:
