@Source: internewscast.com
Child predators, murderers and drug traffickers are among the illegal criminal migrants rounded up by ICE in the past 24 hours.
Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigrants is pushing forward despite being hindered by intelligence leaks and running into opposition from Democrat-led sanctuary cities.
According to the latest available data from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), during Trump’s first three weeks in office from January 20 – February 8 ICE arrested 11,791 illegal aliens – a 137 percent increase from the year before.
During the same time span, arrests of aliens with criminal histories have doubled from roughly 4,500 to 9,000 compared to 2024.
Arrests of fugitive aliens at-large in U.S. communities have increased 156 percent from around 2,160 to 5,530 compared to last year.
‘ICE has immediately gone after worst-of-the-worst offenders, doubling and tripling FY 2024 enforcement metrics,’ DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told DailyMail.com in a statement.
Though the administration has stopped providing daily updates on the exact number of migrants arrested and deported each day, they did provide Daily Mail with specifics on criminals with horrific rap sheets who were arrested on Thursday.
These illegal aliens, convicted of loads of crimes, hail from all over the world ranging from Guatemala to Portugal to South Sudan.
These international criminals were arrested all over the U.S., too.
In Atlanta, ICE arrested Mexican citizen Luis Guerrero, a criminal convicted of selling cocaine sentenced to four years in prison.
In Chicago authorities apprehended Jose Miguel Martinez, another Mexican man. He was convicted of sexual assaults and was later given a seven year prison sentence.
Mexican child predator Rogelio Hernandez was arrested in Houston on Thursday.
Hernandez was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child and was sentenced to 12 years in prison.
ICE agents in Knoxville, Tennessee, arrested Horacio Villegas, an illegal migrant who had previously been deported from the U.S.
Villegas, a Guatemalan national, had an outstanding warrant for raping a child. He also had a long criminal history including charges for assault with a weapon, hit and run, domestic violence, obstructing police and more.
In St. Paul, Minnesota, ICE arrested Mongong Deng, a citizen of South Sudan who has been convicted of homicide. Deng has been sentenced to 17 years in prison.
Chi Lei, a citizen of Portugal, was arrested Thursday by ICE in Philadelphia for crimes against minors.
He was convicted of sexual exploitation of a minor and child pornography crimes and given a 23 month sentence.
