“Just yesterday, ICE arrested murderers, pedophiles, sexual predators, drug traffickers, and other public safety threats,” DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in a statement.
“Every day, the men and women of ICE are arresting and removing illegal aliens from our nation. The Department of Homeland Security is committed to delivering President Trump’s promise to the American people to deport illegal aliens and make America safe again,” the secretary continued.
The Trump administration continues to highlight deportations, particularly of individuals convicted of serious crimes.
The latest arrests come as DHS also regularly files detainers to prevent a release of somebody behind bars before they can be brought into federal custody.
On Tuesday, DHS asked Salt Lake County, Utah, authorities to not release Moise Sainteran, an illegal alien from Haiti, as he’s charged with raping two women in the state.
“This illegal alien has been charged with sexually assaulting two women,” a DHS Spokesperson said in a statement. “He was paroled into our country by the Biden Administration’s Haitian parole program, which the Trump Administration ended last year. ICE is asking officials in Salt Lake County to not release this criminal from jail, and to turn him over to ICE custody so we can remove him from our country.”
