Arrests occurred as reported on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day (Dec 24–25, 2025) involving the described suspects.
The Department of Homeland Security itself issued a news release titled "A Christmas Gift for Every American: Worst of Worst Criminal Illegal Alien Murderers, Drug Traffickers, and Gang Members Arrested" stating that, while Americans celebrated Christmas, ICE continued arresting "the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens" across the country, specifically "on Christmas Eve and Christmas" (Dec. 24–25, 2025). The DHS release lists ten named individuals arrested on those two days, including an MS-13 gang member and multiple people previously convicted of homicide and drug trafficking, as well as other violent offenses. A subsequent Fox News report summarizing the DHS announcement reiterates that ICE arrested "gang members, murderers, drug traffickers, and violent thugs" on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Based on DHS’s own account and corroborating coverage, the claim that ICE arrested multiple criminal undocumented immigrants on Dec. 24–25, 2025, including gang members, murderers, and drug traffickers, is accurate. The verdict is True because DHS's official communication directly confirms that on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 2025, ICE arrested several criminal noncitizens fitting those exact categories, and no credible evidence contradicts this timeline or characterization.
