WORST OF THE WORST: ICE Arrests Violent Assailants, Drug Traffickers, and Other Violent Criminals

Nearly 70% of criminal illegal aliens arrested by ICE have been charged or arrested for a crime in the United States

WASHINGTON -- Yesterday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested criminal illegal aliens convicted for aggravated assault with a weapon, battery, and drug trafficking, among other crimes.

"Yesterday, the brave men and women of ICE were hard at work arresting dangerous criminal illegal aliens, including those convicted for aggravated assault with a weapon, battery, making a terrorist threat, and drug trafficking," said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. "We are fulfilling the President's mandate from the American people to remove criminals from our country. Despite the threats, doxing, and harassment from anti-ICE rioters and smears from sanctuary politicians, ICE will NOT slow down its mission to make America safe again."
