Latest ICE roundup nabs murderers, pedophiles

Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) latest roundup of illegal aliens brought in more than a dozen with serious criminal convictions over the weekend, including individuals convicted of child sexual abuse and murder.

Under President Donald Trump, ICE and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have worked to enact mass deportations of as many as 22 million illegal aliens, with a particular focus on those with criminal convictions. As of January, ICE reported as many as 3 million departures through either physical removal or self-deportation.

Over the weekend alone, ICE brought in more than a dozen aliens whose convictions earned them spots in the DHS's "worst of the worst" highlights.

“While Americans celebrated Mother’s Day, the NICE men and women of ICE risked their lives to arrest and remove criminal illegal aliens from American communities,” Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said in a statement. “This weekend, ICE arrested a murderer, pedophiles, violent assailants, and a kidnapper. Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, we are protecting American families by removing the worst of the worst from our neighborhoods before they can victimize another innocent American.”
