The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has revealed that approximately 70% of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests involve individuals with criminal charges or convictions, according to a report. The agency highlighted that among the detainees apprehended this weekend were some of the “worst of the worst” criminal suspects, including illegal aliens convicted of severe offenses.
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin emphasized that the Biden administration’s open-border policies have led to an influx of such individuals, stating, “Thanks to the Biden administration open-border policies, every town is now as a border town flooded with worst-of-the-worst criminal illegal aliens.” The report noted that 70% of ICE arrests involve people charged or convicted of crimes in the U.S., excluding foreign fugitives, gang members, terrorists, and human rights abusers.
Among the detained individuals was Javier Salvador Morfin from Mexico, who was convicted of assault with intent to commit a felony and attempted rape by force/fear in Los Angeles, California. Another case involved Sergio Jesus Villegas-Dorta from Cuba, who was convicted of intentional killing involving a weapon, robbery, and aggravated assault with a weapon in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
McLaughlin concluded, “As we look ahead to Thanksgiving this week, Americans can be thankful our brave DHS law enforcement got these pedophiles, rapists, and murderers off American streets.” The agency’s report underscores the focus on apprehending individuals posing significant threats to public safety.
