“While Americans were enjoying their weekend, ICE law enforcement was arresting murderers, pedophiles, rapists, kidnappers, and other criminal illegal aliens across the country,” a DHS representative said in a news release on Monday.
“The men and women of ICE work every single day to remove dangerous criminals like these from our communities and make America safe again.
“With these criminals off our streets and out of our country, it’s no wonder that crime rates have reached record lows under the Trump Administration.”
According to the news release, those arrested included Juan Mauricio Castillo, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador previously convicted of homicide after a slaying in Nevada.
