ICE arrests criminal illegal immigrants convicted of murder, sexual assault

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced Thursday the latest “worst of the worst” criminal illegal immigrants convicted of crimes nationwide, including murderers, pedophiles and drug traffickers.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) highlighted the convictions of five illegal immigrants from Vietnam, Honduras, Cuba and Mexico.

“While sanctuary politicians release criminal illegal aliens from their jails to victimize more American families and children, our officers continue to arrest criminals,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. “Yesterday, ICE arrested criminal illegal aliens convicted for murder, sexual assault of a CHILD, and drug trafficking.”

McLaughlin added that nearly 70% of ICE arrests are of illegal immigrants charged or convicted of a crime.

“This statistic does not even include foreign fugitives, gang members, and terrorists who lack a rap sheet in the U.S,” she said.
