Minneapolis ICE Surge Targets “Worst of the Worst” Criminal Illegal Aliens

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – During an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation conducted earlier in December in Minneapolis, the agency continued on the current administration’s promise to apprehend the “worst of the worst” criminal illegal aliens, highlighting in a press release notable offenders arrested during “Operation Metro Surge.”

Homeland Security issued a press release on December 4th detailing the recent notable apprehensions carried out by ICE during Operation Metro Surge, noting how the agency “has arrested vicious criminals who were allowed to roam Minneapolis streets thanks to sanctuary policies.”

Sanctuary policies aren’t the only thing that seems to be plaguing Minneapolis relating to immigration enforcement efforts. Law Enforcement Today has previously reported on Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara, who issued a statement to locals that they should call the police on ICE agents if they’re observed apprehending illegal aliens within the city.

Twelve arrestees were highlighted by Homeland Security in their press release on the current successes of Operation Metro Surge, with some of the apprehended illegal aliens harboring past convictions and arrests for crimes such as sexual predatory offenses against children to aggravated assault.
 

• Abdulkadir Sharif Abdi, a criminal illegal alien from Somalia, is a former Gangster Disciples gang member and current member of Vice Lord Nation, with prior convictions for fraud, receiving stolen property, receiving a stolen vehicle, vehicle theft, and multiple probation violations.
• Sahal Osman Shidane, a criminal illegal alien from Somalia, has a prior conviction of criminal sexual conduct with a minor aged between 13-15 years old.
• Mukthar Mohamed Ali, a criminal illegal alien from Somalia, has prior convictions for assault, fraud, robbery, and larceny. 
• Ahmed Mohamed Said, a criminal illegal alien from Somalia, has multiple prior convictions of domestic violence, DUI, and single convictions for assault, damaging property, and violating probation. 
• Rudy Arrendondo Jarillo, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, has a prior conviction of felony alien smuggling.
• Alvaro Davila Alanis, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, was previously arrested for aggravated assault with a weapon.
• Feisal Mohamed Omar, a criminal illegal alien from Somalia, has two past charges for domestic violence.
• Oscar David Ayala-Ocampo, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, has a prior domestic violence arrest.
• Alberto Gallardo-Montiel, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, has a prior DUI conviction.
• Ismael Bonilla Avalos, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, has a prior DUI conviction and was also previously charged with domestic violence.
• Ismael Higuera Chupin, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, has a prior arrest for DUI.
• Carlos Mark Boquin-Alfaro, a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador, has a prior arrest for domestic violence.

Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin issued a statement regarding ICE’s efforts in Minneapolis, criticizing Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as well as Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for their role in emboldening such criminal illegal aliens due to their sanctuary policies.

“Sanctuary policies and politicians like Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey allowed these pedophiles, domestic terrorists, and gang members to roam the streets and terrorize Americans,” McLaughlin stated, adding, “ICE law enforcement are risking their lives to protect Minnesotans while their own elected officials sit by and do nothing. No matter when and where, ICE will find, arrest, and deport ALL criminal illegal aliens.”
