Meet One of the Media’s ‘Non-Criminals’: ICE Arrests MS-13 Member in Idaho Charged with Terrorism in El Salvador

The mainstream media would falsely label this illegal alien as a "non-criminal" because he lacks a criminal history in the U.S.

WASHINGTON - The United States Department of Homeland Security released the following statement after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested an illegal alien whose criminal record shows ties to MS-13 and terrorist organization charges, among other crimes, in El Salvador.

On November 5, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Salt Lake City arrested Danny Jose Parada-Mendez, an illegal alien from El Salvador, during a targeted enforcement operation in Victor, Idaho.

Parada-Mendez's criminal history in his home country includes resisting arrest, deprivation of liberty, and multiple charges of terrorist organization. He will remain in ICE custody pending removal to El Salvador.

"This illegal alien from El Salvador has a criminal history in his home country that ties him to MS-13 and includes terrorist organization charges, resisting arrest, and deprivation of liberty," said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. "Thanks to the hardworking patriots of ICE, this terrorist is off our streets and soon will be out of our country. It's disgraceful that the mainstream media would label this terrorist as a 'non-criminal' simply because he doesn't have a rap sheet here in the United States. The Trump Administration will never apologize for deporting illegal aliens and putting the safety of the American people first."

Parada-Mendez illegally entered the United States at an unknown date and location.
