U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested more "worst of the worst" illegal aliens on Tuesday, including individuals convicted of murder, child rape, rape and assault, the Department of Homeland Security said.
"Every day, the brave men and women of ICE are risking their lives to arrest and remove illegal aliens from our communities. Yesterday, ICE arrested murderers, pedophiles, rapists, and other dangerous criminals," said Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin. "President Trump made a promise to the American people that he would Make America Safe Again, and DHS is delivering on that promise. We will never apologize for arresting and removing illegal aliens who should never have been in America in the first place."
Those arrested include Esteban Enriquez-Munoz, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico convicted of murder, robbery and assault in Orange, California, and Viengxay Chaleunphong, a criminal illegal alien from Laos convicted of three counts of rape of a child and assault and battery on a child under 14 in Woburn, Massachusetts.
Also arrested were Jendrick Ordonez-Calate, a criminal illegal alien from Guatemala convicted of rape in Sussex County, Delaware; Jorge Avila-Velez, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico convicted of possessing, viewing or controlling 1,000 to 100,000 items of child sexual abuse material in Passaic, New Jersey; and Hamza Boufnichal, a criminal illegal alien from Morocco convicted of obstruction, false identification, grand larceny and assault and battery in Fairfax, Virginia.
DHS said ICE is arresting illegal aliens at a record pace under President Trump and Secretary Mullin.
