U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently announced the arrest of several individuals identified as "criminal illegal aliens" convicted of serious offenses, including child sexual abuse, sexual assault, and drug trafficking.
Among those arrested were Candido Ramirez-Arcega, from Mexico, convicted for continuous sexual abuse of a child in Los Angeles, California, and Bruno Andres Anez-Hernandez, from Venezuela, convicted for sexual assault and lewd/lascivious acts with a minor in Utah County, Utah. Other arrests included Manuel Montes-Garcia, for false imprisonment, weapon offenses, and driving under influence of liquor in California, and Humberto Lira-Ortega and Fernando Valtierra-Villasana, both from Mexico, for drug-related charges and DUI in Utah and California, respectively.
Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis emphasized the agency's commitment, saying, "If you come to our country illegally and break our laws, we will find you and arrest you." Bis added that under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, ICE is "targeting the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens and removing them from our communities."
