"Yesterday, the men and women of ICE arrested multiple criminal aliens convicted of enticing children for indecent purposes, assault and battery, and armed robbery," said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. "This Police Week, we are highlighting some of the worst of the worst ICE law enforcement arrested.
