ICE Arrests Pedophiles, Sex Criminals, Fentanyl Traffickers, and Other Worst of Worst Criminal Illegal Aliens

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:
