“Despite the Democrats’ government shutdown and ICE officers facing a 1000% increase in assaults against them including terrorist attacks and bounties on their heads for their murders, ICE continues to arrest the worst of the worst,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “Yesterday, ICE arrested gang members, murderers, and pedophiles. Nothing will stop or slow us down from making America safe again.”

Rafel Emilio Ramirez-Sanchez, a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador and MS-13 gang member convicted for robbery in Los Angeles, California.
