ICE says it arrested several criminal noncitizens convicted of child sexual exploitation, aggravated assault, and drug trafficking

The Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced arrests of several noncitizens it describes as the “worst of the worst,” including people convicted of sexual exploitation of a child, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, burglary with assault, and drug trafficking. ICE named five individuals from El Salvador, Venezuela and Mexico and said 70% of its arrests are of noncitizens charged with or convicted of crimes in the U.S. The agency directs the public to wow.dhs.gov for more lists of arrests and stated these actions protect American communities, according to Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.
