PUTTING AMERICA FIRST: ICE Arrests Murderers, Pedophiles, Child Abusers, and Sexual Predators

President Trump promised to make America safe again by removing illegal aliens from our streets, and DHS will continue to deliver

WASHINGTON -- U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the arrest of more criminal illegal aliens across the country, including those convicted for murder, second-degree sexual assault on a child less than 14 years old, risk of injury to a child, and other horrific crimes.

"While sanctuary politicians demonize our law enforcement, the men and women of ICE are working to get criminals off American streets," said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. "Just yesterday, ICE arrested murderers, pedophiles, child abusers, and sexual predators. These types of monsters have no business remaining in the United States any longer. We will not allow rioters to slow us down from making America safe again."
