U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested several "worst of the worst" illegal aliens on Tuesday, including individuals convicted of sexual battery of children, human trafficking and armed carjacking, the Department of Homeland Security said.
"Yesterday, the patriots of ICE arrested child predators, human traffickers, armed carjackers, and other dangerous illegal aliens," said Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin. "Under President Trump's leadership, we will always prioritize enforcing the law and protecting Americans over illegal aliens."
Among those arrested was Damani Javier Cunningham, a criminal illegal alien from Jamaica convicted of aggravated sexual battery of a victim under 13 years old and strangulation in Bristol, Virginia. Ever Edilberto Zuniga-Ramirez, a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador, was convicted of sexual exploitation of a minor and distribution of child pornography in Boston, Massachusetts.
