More than 200 illegal aliens were captured by federal authorities stationed at a single field office in South Texas, including violent criminals, drug traffickers, and gangbangers.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Harlingen arrested a total of 238 illegals in the Rio Grande Valley on June 18, the highest number of targeted arrests in a single day for the office, the agency announced this week.
ICE released photographs, nationalities, and criminal histories on some of the worst offenders, all of whom were Mexican citizens in the U.S. illegally:

“The ICE mission continues to focus on enhancing public safety and restoring integrity to our nation’s immigration system,” said ICE Harlingen Field Office Director Juan Agudelo.
“We will stop at nothing to keep our American communities safe by removing one criminal illegal alien at a time.”
