U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced Thursday the latest “worst of the worst” criminal illegal immigrants convicted of crimes nationwide, including murderers, pedophiles and drug traffickers.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) highlighted the convictions of five illegal immigrants from Vietnam, Honduras, Cuba and Mexico.
“While sanctuary politicians release criminal illegal aliens from their jails to victimize more American families and children, our officers continue to arrest criminals,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. “Yesterday, ICE arrested criminal illegal aliens convicted for murder, sexual assault of a CHILD, and drug trafficking.”
