ICE Arrests Child Predators, Rapists, and Domestic Abusers to Keep America Safe

Nearly 70% of illegal aliens ICE arrested across the country have criminal convictions or pending criminal charges in the U.S. alone

WASHINGTON -- U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested more criminal illegal aliens across the country convicted of heinous crimes including sexual abuse of a child, rape, and assault of a family member.

"Yesterday, the heroic men and women of ICE arrested multiple child predators, rapists, domestic abusers, and other heinous criminals," said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. "Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, criminal illegal aliens are not welcome in the United States. If you come to our country illegally and break our laws, we will arrest you, deport you, and you will never return."
