ICE announces arrests of noncitizens convicted of sexual offenses and assault

The Department of Homeland Security announced that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested several noncitizens they described as the "worst of the worst," including people convicted of continuous sexual abuse of a child, sexual assault of a child, second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, aggravated assault, and unlawful electronic sexual communication. The release quotes Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin saying the arrests removed individuals who preyed on children and that ICE will seek to arrest and remove those who come to the U.S. illegally and commit crimes. The release also states that 70% of ICE arrests are of people charged with or convicted of crimes in the U.S. and points to a DHS webpage (wow.dhs.gov) for more cases.
