70% of ICE arrests are of illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the U.S.
WASHINGTON -- Yesterday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested more criminal illegal aliens convicted for sexual conduct against a child, sexual assault, conspiracy to distribute narcotics, and other horrific crimes.
"The media and sanctuary politicians continue to ignore that nearly 70% of ICE arrests are of illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the U.S.," said Deputy Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. "Yesterday, the brave men and women of ICE risked their lives to get pedophiles, sexual assailants, drug dealers, and other scumbags out of this country. Instead of trying to score brownie points, sanctuary politicians should be thanking our law enforcement officers for removing the worst of the worst from American communities."
Yesterday's arrests include:
Jose Mendez, a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador, convicted for sexual conduct against a child in Mineola, New York.
Edgar Martinez-Funez, a criminal illegal alien from Honduras, convicted for attempted aggravated sexual assault of a child in Dallas County, Texas.
Victor Enrique Perez-Sanchez, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, convicted for sexual assault in Lamesa, Texas.
Hein Ngoc Nguyen, a criminal illegal alien from Vietnam, convicted TWICE for conspiracy to distribute narcotics, conspiracy to distribute, and possession with intent to distribute MDMA in Fairview Heights, Illinois.
Angel Geovanni Garcia-Bermudez, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, convicted for trafficking fentanyl in Franklin County, Ohio.
