As ICE Law Enforcement Works Without Pay, They Arrest More Worst of the Worst Over the Weekend

WASHINGTON - While Americans across the country enjoyed their weekends, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and our Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers continued to arrest the worst of the worst without pay. Some of the worst of the worst arrested included vicious child sexual predators, gang members, drug traffickers, robbers, rapists, and reckless drunk drivers.

"While Americans enjoyed their weekends, DHS law enforcement officers continued to arrest and remove the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens including violent child predators, gang members, drug traffickers, robbers, rapists, and reckless drunk drivers," said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.
