EXCLUSIVE: Here Are The Worst Criminals ICE Arrested In One Day

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested hundreds of thousands of criminals since January, with five major criminals coming on Thursday alone, the Daily Caller has learned.

Since the start of the Trump administration, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has arrested more than 417,000 illegal aliens, an official shared with the Caller. ICE alone has arrested more than 210,000, 70% of which are criminal illegal aliens with pending charges or convictions, the official added. On Thursday, ICE arrested illegal aliens convicted of aggravated sexual assault, attempted murder and other gruesome crimes. (WATCH: The Daily Caller’s Operation Deportation)

“Attempted Murderers, Rapists, and Animal Abusers. These are the dirtbags ICE is arresting and removing from American communities,” Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told the Caller in a statement.

“We should be thanking our law enforcement for risking their lives to arrest these criminals. Instead, sanctuary politicians and activists continue to demonize ICE law enforcement—comparing them to slave patrols, the Gestapo, and the Secret Police. This dangerous rhetoric is contributing to ICE law enforcement officers facing a more than 1000% increase in assaults against them as they carry out enforcement operations,” she added.

One criminal arrested was Humberto Saul Rodriguez-Mendoza, an illegal alien from Mexico, convicted of cruelty to non-livestock animals – kill/poison/serious bodily injury in Parmer County, Texas, an official told the Caller. ICE also arrested Alexander Roderico Hernandez-Gomez, an illegal alien from Guatemala, who was previously convicted of first-degree assault and battery in Lexington County, South Carolina.

ICE also arrested a criminal illegal alien in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the official shared with the Caller. Yannick Damnga is from the Central African Republic and was convicted of aggravated assault – attempting to cause or causing bodily injury with a deadly weapon.

Amid their work to arrest criminals, ICE law enforcement officers face a more than 1000% increase in assaults against them, an official told the Caller. 

An ICE office in Washington state had a rock thrown through its window in August, and a fire was set on the back of the property. The attack came as border czar Tom Homan and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem warned about the rise in violence against ICE and other officials.

Ronald Jean Jacques, a criminal illegal alien from Haiti, was arrested by ICE on Thursday, an official shared. Jean Jacques was convicted of assault, criminal possession of a weapon, and attempted murder and arrested in Queens, New York. 

In Passaic, New Jersey, ICE arrested Fernando Ramirez-Quirino, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, who was convicted of aggravated sexual assault, an official shared. 

The Trump administration has touted its crackdown on the border crisis and illegal immigration as one of its successes.

President Donald Trump told the Daily Caller in an Oval Office interview that he was happy with the rate of deportations, and the media is not telling the full story of the administration’s work.

“[W]e’re doing a lot,” Trump told the Caller. “You know, we’re doing a lot of self deportations. Millions are going out. That’s not much of a story, but a big story is self deportation. You know, we give them an incentive to go out, meaning you can come back someday. If you don’t go out, you can never come back.”
