While Democrats Attack ICE, Violent Gang Members Get Deported

WASHINGTON, DC- As liberals accuse Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of “targeting American citizens,” the facts tell a much different story. According to The New York Post, federal immigration authorities have arrested some 7,000 criminal illegal alien gang members, including murderers, rapists, kidnappers, and other serial criminals who have been sent packing or are on their way out. 

During the run-up to the 2024 presidential election, President Donald Trump promised to undo the damage done by the Biden-Mayorkas open border policies and undertake the “largest mass deportation effort in American history.” Unfortunately, there is much work to be done to rid the country of over ten million illegals allowed to invade the US by Biden-Mayorkas. 

“When we say we are targeting the worst of the worst, this is exactly what we mean,” said Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. 

“Many of these were let in by Joe Biden and should have never been in this country,” she continued. “These vicious criminals murdered, assaulted, robbed, and terrorized innocent Americans for sport. But under President Trump’s and Secretary [Kristi] Noem’s leadership, ICE is turbocharged to arrest even more gang members and make America safe again.” 

The mass deportation has triggered unhinged leftists and so-called “progressive” Democrats, and the country has seen an “unprecedented climate of violence and hostility” toward federal immigration officials, The Post reported. There has been over a 1,300% increase in assaults on agents since the start of President Trump’s second term. 

DHS lays the blame squarely on leftist politicians such as Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and other Democrats, who are fanning the flames of anti-ICE sentiment in a classic case of virtue signaling against anything the president is in favor of. 

According to DHS, ICE has apprehended illegal alien gang members from over a dozen gangs, including the Crips, the Bloods, Nortenos, MS-13, Tren de Aragua, Asian Boys, Trinitarios, the Latin Kings, and many, many more. 

Some of the “worst of the worst” gang members have been previously reported on by Law Enforcement Today. Below are some others:
