During President Donald Trump’s initial 100 days in office, ICE agents made notable arrests of immigrants with criminal records, based on documents shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation.
In the week marking his 100-day milestone, booking photos of undocumented individuals with past convictions or ongoing legal issues were prominently displayed along the North Lawn of the White House. Meanwhile, the ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) conducted extensive arrests across the nation, with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) releasing details and images of five key cases.
“Every day I get reports of our ICE enforcement agents arresting individuals involved in serious crimes like murder, rape, and child abuse,” DHS Chief Christa Noem shared in a social media update highlighting additional arrests. “Under President Trump, we’ve detained over 150,000 undocumented individuals, including more than 600 members of the notorious Tren de Aragua gang. If you’re here illegally and breaking the law, we will find you, arrest you, and see you behind bars.”
In Michigan, ERO officials apprehended 33-year-old Ludwig Ivan Castaneda Gonzalez, a Mexican national. According to DHS, his criminal background includes convictions for sexual conduct offenses involving minors aged 13 to 15 under Michigan law.

Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, another sanctuary city, agents picked up Christian Robles Andredo, a 34-year-old Mexican resident known for extensive tattoos indicative of gang affiliation. He is reportedly an active member of the Eighth Street gang and has a conviction for voluntary manslaughter in Los Angeles.

In another nearby sanctuary city on the East Coast, ERO agents in Boston arrested 33-year-old Mario Alexander Ochoa Remus from El Salvador. His criminal record involves convictions for rape, child abuse, child pornography, and making threats. Ochoa-Lemus had previously been reported as an undocumented immigrant and had been detained by ICE in May 2018, only to be released later after his case proceeded through the court system.

Recently, DHS announced the arrest of Kwadwo Boaitey Frimpong, a 32-year-old citizen from Ghana, who was apprehended in ERO Baltimore. Frimpong had come to the U.S. on an F-1 Visa in 2019 but was convicted of seven counts related to child pornography. He will remain in ICE custody as the removal process is initiated.

Since the beginning of Trump’s second term, the administration has intensified efforts to fulfill campaign promises aimed at stricter immigration enforcement. Following around 11 million border encounters under the Biden administration, daily encounters have plummeted by 93%, with overall immigration checks down by an astonishing 99.99% since Trump assumed office.
