Nearly 70% of ICE arrests are of illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the United States

WASHINGTON -- Yesterday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested criminal illegal aliens convicted for crimes including arson, burglary with assault, possession of methamphetamine with the intent to distribute, and burglary.
