The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced today that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested over 10,000 gang members during President Donald J. Trump’s second term. These individuals are accused of serious crimes including murder, assault with a deadly weapon, drug trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, robbery, and extortion.
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin stated that these actions deliver on President Trump’s mandate. "Under President Trump’s leadership, ICE has arrested more than 10,000 gang members," said Secretary Mullin. He added, "Many of these gang members were released into our country by Joe Biden. These vicious criminals murdered, assaulted, robbed, and terrorized innocent Americans for sport. Thanks to the Secure America Act, ICE is turbocharged to arrest even more gang members and criminals from American neighborhoods."
The 10,000th gang member arrested was identified as Javier Hernandez Rosas, an MS-13 member and "criminal illegal alien" from Mexico, whose criminal history includes convictions for cocaine possession and arrests for abduction and possession of a weapon.
The press release also highlighted other arrests, including Josue Saul Garcia-Lopez, an MS-13 member wanted in El Salvador for extortion and robbery, and Danny Granados-Garcia, an MS-13 member wanted for murder in El Salvador. Other individuals arrested include members of the Tren de Aragua (TDA) gang, facing charges such as murder, racketeering, and weapon offenses across various U.S. states.
