ICE Arrests Criminal Illegal Aliens Amid Violence

Agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are actively detaining illegal immigrants who have been convicted of serious crimes such as murder, child sexual offenses, drug trafficking, and robbery. This crackdown comes in response to organized violence in cities like Minneapolis, Minnesota.

A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) emphasized the dedication of ICE personnel, noting, “While many Americans stayed indoors during a severe winter storm, the brave men and women of ICE ventured out in harsh weather to arrest some of the most dangerous criminal illegal aliens troubling our communities.”

Recent arrests included a murderer, a registered sex offender, and a drug trafficker. Information about these criminals has been made available on the DHS website.

One significant arrest this weekend was that of Matilde Flores Najera from Mexico, who has a murder conviction in Dallas County, Texas.
