WORST OF THE WORST: ICE Arrests Pedophiles, Money Launderers, and Drug Traffickers

Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, ICE will continue to enforce our nation's laws and remove illegal aliens from American communities

WASHINGTON -- Yesterday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested more worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens convicted for despicable crimes including lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14 years old, money laundering, and trafficking a controlled substance: heroin/morphine.

"If you chose to come to this country illegally and break the law, ICE will hunt you down and send you back to where you came from. Just yesterday, ICE arrested pedophiles, money launderers, and drug traffickers," said Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin. "We don't make the laws at DHS. We simply enforce them. President Trump has made it clear: Illegal aliens are not welcome in the U.S."

Yesterday's arrests include:
