WASHINGTON, DC - In a press release on Wednesday, October 28, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced several arrests carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) over a 24-hour period, including several of what the agency calls the “worst of the worst.”
Under the current administration, ICE has long promised to target the “worst of the worst” offenders living in the United States illegally. The release highlighted several arrests made across the country on Tuesday, October 27, that the agency said fit that description.
The arrests highlighted by DHS include:
- Rony Izaguirre-Henriquez, a criminal illegal alien from Honduras with previous convictions out of Prince George’s County, Maryland, for participating in gang activity resulting in death and for assault.
- Francisco Chapas-Sanchez, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico with a previous conviction out of Chicago, Illinois, for predatory criminal sexual assault of a child.
- Jaime Ramirez-Almaraz, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico with previous convictions out of Salt Lake City, Utah, for aggravated assault and burglary.
- Rafael Limber Leon-Garcia, a criminal illegal alien from Ecuador with a previous conviction out of Florida for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute 5 kilograms or more of cocaine.
- Fabiola Vega, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico with previous convictions out of Waseca, Minnesota, for conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute heroin.
In a statement accompanying the release, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin praised ICE for the arrests and said the agency will continue to deliver on the administration’s promises.
“America’s brave ICE agents put their lives on the line every day to enforce U.S. law and arrest criminal illegal aliens. Just yesterday, ICE arrested murderers, pedophiles, violent assailants, and other public safety threats. Under President Trump’s leadership, DHS is arresting and deporting illegal aliens at a historic pace, delivering the most secure border in American history, and stopping deadly drugs from pouring into our communities,” Mullin said.
