U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently apprehended several individuals described as "worst of the worst" criminal illegal aliens, including those convicted of murder, child molestation, and aggravated assault. The arrests underscore the Department of Homeland Security's message to illegal aliens: "LEAVE NOW. If you don’t, we will find you and deport you."
Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis emphasized the agency's commitment, saying, "The brave men and women of ICE law enforcement work 24/7 to remove the worst of the worst from our communities." Bis added that "Nearly 70% of ICE arrests are of illegal aliens who have either been convicted or charged with a crime in the United States."
Among those arrested were Cornelio Arrellano-Hernandez, convicted of first-degree murder in Los Angeles, and Yaney Garcia-Ozuna, convicted of lewd acts with a child in Livermore, California. Other arrests included Long Quoc Van Nguyen for aggravated assault and DUI in Dallas, Ebrima Sanneh for drug trafficking attempts in North Carolina, and Cheikh Assane Diagne for carrying a handgun and trespassing in Washington, D.C.
