Friday’s catch included MS-13 gang members, convicted rapists, and murderers.
“President Trump and Secretary Noem unleashed ICE to target the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens,” Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. “Yesterday, ICE arrested murderers, MS-13 gang members, and rapists.”
“These are the type of thugs we are getting off the streets and out of country every single day. 70% of all ICE arrests are of criminal illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the U.S. Americans can see for themselves what criminals have been removed from their community at WOW.DHS.Gov,” she added.
