FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Monday arrested five illegal aliens convicted of violent crimes and drug offenses, the agency announced Tuesday.
“Yesterday, ICE arrested murderers, violent assailants, kidnapprs, drug traffickers, and other dangerous criminal illegal aliens from our communities,” Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin told the Daily Signal. “Under the leadership of President Trump, ICE is making our nation safer by removing illegal aliens from our communities.”
“When you remove criminal illegal aliens like these from our country, crime rates fall and the American people are safer,” Mullin added. DHS claimed that nearly 70% of the illegal aliens ICE arrests have been charged with or convicted of a crime in the United States.
