WORST OF THE WORST: ICE Arrests Murderers, Pedophiles, and Rapists

Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin's leadership, America will never become a sanctuary for illegal aliens

WASHINGTON - Yesterday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested more worst of the worst illegal aliens, convicted of heinous crimes such as murder, child sexual abuse, and rape.

"Yesterday, the brave patriots of ICE arrested murderers, pedophiles, rapists, and other illegal aliens who should have never been in our country at all," said Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin. "Under President Trump, we are laser-focused on arresting and removing illegal aliens from our communities to make America safe again. DHS will never apologize for putting the safety of the American people first."
