DHS Arrests Five Criminal Immigrants

On Friday, the Department of Homeland Security announced the apprehension of five undocumented immigrants with serious criminal convictions, ranging from murder to child sexual abuse.

“These aren’t minor crimes. These individuals are predators and abusers who should never have been in our country,” stated Deputy Director Tricia McLaughlin.

“Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, the DHS promises to restore law and order while protecting American families. If you’re here illegally and harming others, your time is limited,” she added.
