The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has revealed that approximately 70% of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests involve individuals with criminal charges or convictions, according to internal documents. The agency highlighted that some of the detained individuals are among the “worst of the worst” criminals, including illegal aliens who committed serious offenses such as sexual abuse, rape, and murder.
In one case, Javier Salvador Morfin, an illegal alien from Mexico, was convicted of assault with intent to commit a felony and attempted rape by force/fear in Los Angeles, California. Another individual, Sergio Jesus Villegas-Dorta from Cuba, was convicted of intentional killing involving a weapon, robbery, and aggravated assault with a weapon in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin emphasized that the Biden administration’s open-border policies have led to a surge in “worst-of-the-worst criminal illegal aliens” across the U.S. She stated, “As we look ahead to Thanksgiving this week, Americans can be thankful our brave DHS law enforcement got these pedophiles, rapists, and murderers off American streets.”
The release also noted that 70% of ICE arrests involve individuals charged or convicted of a crime in the U.S., with the statistic excluding “foreign fugitives, gang members, terrorists, and human rights abusers.” The agency’s statement underscores the focus on criminal activity linked to illegal aliens, while emphasizing the need for border security.
