ICE Arrests Multiple Convicted Criminals
On Monday, President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem met with families affected by crimes committed by illegal immigrants. Following this meeting, the agency revealed that more illegal immigrants with records of violent crimes and sexual assault had been apprehended.
Assistant Secretary Lauren Biss commented that while many Americans were enjoying their weekend, ICE agents were diligently working to remove dangerous criminal illegal aliens from the country, highlighting offenders such as pedophiles and rapists.
Biss added that the meeting at the White House served as a reminder of the victims and their families, reinforcing the commitment to continue efforts in capturing and deporting illegal aliens from communities.
Some individuals arrested over the weekend included Gerardo Moran Cisneros, a Mexican national convicted in Los Angeles of lewd acts with a minor, and Jatoniel Rey Tankirisan, an Indonesian who faced domestic assault charges in Hollywood.
In Santa Ana, California, ICE also took in Hoang Dung Duong, a Vietnamese national who had been convicted of assault with a deadly weapon. A notable arrest occurred in New York City, where ICE apprehended Pedro Pixaca-Dutan, an Ecuadorian man found guilty of rape. Nearby, in Somerset County, New Jersey, Victor Ortiz-Ramos, a Mexican national convicted of aggravated sexual assault against a victim under 13, was also arrested.
Another arrest in New Jersey involved Carlos Aparicio Zarate, who was convicted of aggravated assault in Asbury Park. The Midwest was not exempt, as Martin Villanueva-Arenas, also from Mexico and with a record for aggravated sexual assault of a child, was arrested in Wheaton, Illinois, following a hit-and-run incident.

On February 22, President Trump proclaimed it “National Angel Families Day,” a day to honor those whose lives have been claimed by criminal illegal aliens. He reiterated his resolve against illegal immigration crime and emphasized the administration’s goal of a mass deportation effort targeting the most dangerous individuals.
During a memorial service, Trump remarked, “For too long, your stories have been hidden…” He echoed sentiments of support for the families impacted by such tragedies, asserting that justice would be served.
Among attendees, families of victims shared their stories, with one mother expressing gratitude towards Trump for honoring her daughter’s memory and efforts to pass legislation aimed at preventing future injustices.
