U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced yesterday the arrest of several "worst of the worst" criminal illegal aliens convicted of heinous crimes, including capital murder, aggravated sexual battery, and drug trafficking. The arrests were made as part of the Department of Homeland Security's ongoing efforts to ensure homeland safety and remove individuals with serious criminal records from communities.
Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin said, "Every day, the patriots of ICE are working around the clock to arrest and remove the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens. Just yesterday, ICE arrested murderers, pedophiles, and drug traffickers." He added that President Trump has made it clear that "Illegal aliens are NOT welcome in our nation. If you’re in our nation illegally: LEAVE NOW, or we will find you, arrest you, and deport you."
Among those apprehended were Danh Van Nguyen, convicted of capital murder and aggravated robbery in Dallas County, Texas; Majabed Hussein-Tarek, convicted of lewd acts with a minor and sex assault in Burlington, Massachusetts; and Enedino Villalobos-Ortega, convicted of aggravated sexual battery of a victim under 13 in Newport News, Virginia. Also arrested were Jesstin Mauricio Santamaria-Artega for lewd conduct with a child in Kuna, Idaho, and Miguel Morales-Garcia for conspiracy to distribute cocaine in Texas and Illinois.
