EXCLUSIVE: ICE Arrests 5 Criminal Illegal Aliens

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Monday arrested five illegal aliens convicted of violent crimes and drug offenses, the agency announced Tuesday.

“Yesterday, ICE arrested murderers, violent assailants, kidnappers, drug traffickers, and other dangerous criminal illegal aliens from our communities,” Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin told the Daily Signal. “Under the leadership of President [Donald] Trump, ICE is making our nation safer by removing illegal aliens from our communities.”
