U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently apprehended several criminal illegal aliens convicted of severe offenses, including murder, child rape, and sexual assault. This action aligns with the agency's stated mission to remove individuals who have committed serious crimes.
The arrests included Bryan Marshall from Barbados, convicted of second-degree murder in Norfolk, Massachusetts, and Felipe Tahuilan from Mexico, convicted of child rape and aggravated assault in Berks County, Pennsylvania. Other individuals apprehended were Jose Fuentes-Saravia from El Salvador, convicted of sexual contact with a minor in Suffolk County, New York, and Tirso Gomez-Gomez from Guatemala, convicted of forcible sexual abuse in Hurricane, Utah. Francisco Frias-Abalos from Mexico, convicted of indecent assault in McKinney, Texas, was also arrested.
Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis emphasized the agency's commitment, saying, "From day one, ICE has been delivering on President Trump’s promise to the American people to arrest and deport the worst of the worst." Bis added, "These types of violent, depraved criminals should never have been in the U.S. in the first place. ICE will continue arresting criminal illegal aliens to make America safe again." The Department of Homeland Security noted that nearly 70% of ICE arrests involve illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime.
