A Department of Homeland Security press release obtained by Blaze News highlighted five arrests made by ICE on Wednesday.
‘President Trump has been clear: If you break the law, you will face the consequences.’
“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announces the arrest of more criminal illegal aliens convicted for heinous crimes, including murder, lewd acts with a child, forcible sexual abuse, and possession and intent to distribute methamphetamine,” the press release stated.

“The media and sanctuary politicians continuously ignore the criminal illegal aliens ICE law enforcement is arresting from American neighborhoods,” DHS acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis stated.
“Yesterday alone, ICE arrested multiple murderers, pedophiles, and drug traffickers. President Trump has been clear: If you break the law, you will face the consequences,” Bis continued. “Criminal illegal aliens are not welcome in the U.S.”
