Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, ICE is unleashed to target criminal illegal aliens
WASHINGTON - Yesterday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested more criminal illegal aliens convicted for horrific crimes, including a hit and run death, lewd or lascivious acts with a minor, and assault with a dangerous weapon.
"Yesterday, the courageous men and women of ICE law enforcement were hard at work arresting dangerous criminals, including a hit and run killer, a pedophile, and violent thugs," said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. "Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, ICE will continue to arrest and remove violent criminal illegal aliens who should have never been in our country in the first place. If you come to our country illegally and break our laws, we will find you, arrest you, and you will NEVER return."
Yesterday's arrests include:
Pedro Pablo Rodriguez-Dolores, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, convicted for a hit and run resulting in a death in Riverside County, California.
Hung Quoc Lai, a criminal illegal alien from Vietnam, convicted for lewd or lascivious acts with a minor in Seminole County, Florida.
Melvin Aristides Cabrera-Villatoro, a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador, convicted for assault with a dangerous weapon, domestic violence, and indecent exposure in Washington, D.C.
Jose Salazar-Paxtian, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, convicted for burglary of habitation with intent to commit assault in Bexar County, Texas.
