U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the arrest of several individuals convicted of serious crimes, including murder, enticement of a minor, and kidnapping, during operations conducted over the past weekend. These arrests highlight the agency's focus on removing public safety threats from communities.
Under the Trump Administration, nearly 70% of ICE arrests target "criminal illegal aliens" charged or convicted of crimes in the U.S. Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis underscored this commitment, saying, "While Americans were enjoying their weekends, ICE law enforcement was arresting murderers, pedophiles, kidnappers, and other criminal illegal aliens. We are committed to removing public safety threats from our communities."
Among those apprehended were Warren Davis, convicted for murder in White Plains, New York; Adolfo Rosales-Diaz for vehicular manslaughter in Salinas, California; and Angel Romero-Cazares for attempted murder and child cruelty in Auburn, California. Other significant arrests included Juan Eduardo Berganza for attempted murder in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and Leonardo Castro for enticement of a minor and domestic violence in Cranston, Rhode Island.
Further arrests included Jose Martinez-Ortiz for first-degree kidnapping in Orange County, North Carolina, and Walter Perez-Perello for domestic battery and fentanyl possession in Las Vegas, Nevada. Hector Cuevas-Perez was arrested in New York City for robbery, while Cheung Kan was apprehended in Los Angeles for robbery and heroin distribution. ICE continues its efforts to remove such individuals.
