“While Americans were enjoying their weekends, the brave men and women of ICE risked their lives to arrest murderers, pedophiles, rapists, and armed robbers and deliver on President Trump’s promise to make America safe again,” said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin.
“Under the Trump Administration, ICE will always put the American people first. We will not stop targeting, arresting, and removing illegal aliens to protect American communities.”
