The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Tuesday announced the arrest of several violent criminals, including convicted murderers and pedophiles, as part of its latest “worst of the worst” roundup.The “worst of the worst” series is part of an effort by DHS to highlight the criminal nature of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) priority targets amid President Donald Trump’s mass deportation efforts.
“Yesterday, ICE arrested criminal illegal alien murderers, pedophiles and sex criminals – the very definition of depraved,” acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said. “Under President Trump, if you come to our country illegally and break our laws, we will find you and arrest you. There is nothing that will stop ICE from putting American families, American children and American lives FIRST.”
Trump has set a goal of deporting as many as 22 million illegal aliens from the country. As of January, DHS stated that roughly 3 million had left the country through a combination of physical deportations and voluntary exits.
Topping the list was Sergio Colin-Aviles of Mexico, who was convicted of homicide or manslaughter.
Jose Gregorio Torres of Venezuela was convicted of coercion and enticement of a minor.
