United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested several of the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from across the country, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Officials said the individuals taken into custody were convicted of some of the most serious and violent offenses in the criminal code.
“ICE law enforcement officers continue to put their lives on the line to arrest the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from American neighborhoods. Yesterday, ICE arrested illegal aliens convicted of heinous crimes including lewd acts with a child under 14, second degree manslaughter, and attempted murder,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “Secretary Noem unleashed ICE to deliver on the Presidents mandate from the American people to remove criminal illegal aliens from our country.”
DHS identified the following offenders:
Andres Mendoza Salomon, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico convicted of lewd act with a child under 14, contact with a minor sexual intent, harmful matter to seduce minor, and indecent exposure in Ventura California.
Oscar Arturo Sanchez Mondragon, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico convicted of manslaughter in the second degree and tampering with physical evidence in Boone County Kentucky.
Miguel Antonio Urias Argueta, a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador convicted of criminal possession of a weapon, criminal use of a firearm, attempted assault, and attempted murder in Nassau County New York.
Miriam Corona Medina, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico convicted of causing the death of another by driving a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol in Sparks Nevada.
Higinio Rodriguez Ramirez, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico convicted of burglary of a habitation in Johnson County Texas.
ICE officials said the arrests reflect the administrations renewed focus on removing violent repeat offenders who have violated US law and pose serious threats to public safety.
As previously reported by The Dallas Express, federal agents recently detained two illegal aliens accused of murdering a 43 year old woman behind a tire shop in Austin. Officials said Jesus Llamas Yanez and Javier Roman Hernandez were taken into custody on October 8 and are accused of killing Mary Gonzales, who had been shot to death.
“These alleged cold blooded murderers should have never been in our country in the first place, and Mary Gonzales should still be alive,” McLaughlin said.
