‘Worst of the worst’ snared: ICE nabs illegal immigrants convicted of horrific crimes

FIRST ON FOX: ICE reveals some of the worst of the worst illegal migrants arrested Thursday in cities across the country, including convicted child rapists, arsonists and human smugglers.  

“Yesterday, ICE arrested pedophiles, arsonists and human smugglers. Thanks to President Trump and Secretary Noem, these dirtbags are off our streets,” said DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “ICE law enforcement is doing what sanctuary politicians refuse to do: protect the American people. Every single day, our brave ICE law enforcement puts their lives on the line to remove the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from American communities.”
