EXCLUSIVE: ICE continues drumbeat of arresting illegals, including rapists, murderers

• President Donald Trump’s empowerment of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to arrest criminals has contributed to a plummeting of illegal border crossings only months into Trump’s second term.

• The Trump administration shared a list exclusively with the Washington Reporter of some of the individuals arrested by ICE this week, which includes multiple foreign nationals convicted of murder and several convicted rapists.

• Several of ICE’s latest arrests had final removal dates from the last century.

• ICE’s successes suggest that recent internal leaks regarding upcoming enforcement raids have not stopped the agency from finding and arresting criminals across America who are here illegally.

President Donald Trump’s empowerment of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to arrest criminals has contributed to a plummeting of illegal border crossings only months into Trump’s second term.

A senior Trump administration official shared a list exclusively with the Washington Reporter of some of the individuals arrested by ICE this week, which includes multiple foreign nationals convicted of murder and several convicted rapists.

The arrests were carried out by ICE offices in cities ranging from Baltimore to Chicago to Sioux Falls. Several of ICE’s latest arrests had final removal dates from the last century.

ICE arrested foreign nationals from Mexico, Jamaica, El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala in the sweep.

The arrests come after Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem announced last week that her department has identified the two leakers accused of disclosing the raid information to the press.

President Trump’s second administration, just weeks into its actions, is already miles ahead of the Biden administration’s total 2024 ICE arrest numbers.

ICE’s successes suggest that recent internal leaks regarding upcoming enforcement raids have not stopped the agency from finding and arresting criminals across America who are here illegally.
