ICE executed arrests of the named/described criminal noncitizens (i.e., arrests occurred).
The Department of Homeland Security’s official press release from December 29, 2025 states that, while Americans were celebrating the Christmas season and preparing for the new year, ICE “continued arresting the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens,” and that arrests made “yesterday” included five named noncitizens. The same release specifies that among those arrested were individuals previously convicted of homicide (“homicide-willful kill” in Miami), lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14, sexual assault of a child, and possession of cocaine with intent to distribute/sell. Syndicated reports summarizing DHS’s statement repeat that ICE arrested a convicted murderer and multiple child predators over the Christmas weekend, consistent with the DHS account. Based on the available evidence from DHS’s official communication, the statement that ICE arrested multiple criminal noncitizens described as the “worst of the worst” yesterday, including those convicted of homicide, sexual offenses against children, and drug offenses, is accurate. The verdict is True because DHS’s primary-source press release explicitly describes these specific arrests occurring the previous day and details prior convictions for homicide, child sexual offenses, and drug distribution among those arrested.
