Today marked the one-year anniversary of the re-opening of the VOICE office that was created in President Trump's first term in office that was shuttered by the Biden administration
WASHINGTON -- U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) today announced the arrest of more criminal illegal aliens from across the country, convicted for injury to a child, assault with a semiautomatic firearm, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, robbery, and other despicable crimes.
These arrests coincide with the one-year anniversary of ICE reopening its Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) Office. VOICE focuses on helping victims of crime with a nexus to immigration, and their families, by providing them with the resources and support that they need. VOICE was originally launched under the first Trump administration but was then shuttered by the Biden administration.
"The brave men and women of ICE law enforcement continue to target criminal illegal aliens in our communities to prevent another American from being raped, maimed, or murdered by an illegal alien who should have NEVER been in our country. The American victims are why we fight," said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. "Yesterday, ICE arrested multiple violent assailants, including one depraved monster who injured a CHILD. With every arrest, ICE is making American communities safer. We will never stop fighting for justice for the victims of illegal alien crime."
Arrests include:
Juan Lorenzo Hurtado-Flores, a criminal illegal alien from Peru, convicted for criminal obstruction of breathing/blood circulation / injury to a child in White Plains, New York.
Vu Nguyen, a criminal illegal alien from Vietnam, convicted for assault with a semiautomatic firearm in Pasadena, California.
Omar Alexander Rodriguez-Grande, a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador, convicted for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in Harris County, Texas.
Oscar Fransisco, a criminal illegal alien from Guatemala, convicted for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in Palm Beach, Florida.
Josue Coreas-Chavez, a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador, convicted for robbery in Riverhead, New York.
