Trump’s ICE arrests child sex offenders among more than 530 illegal immigrants caught in one day

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested a number of child molesters, as well as gang members and other criminals, among more than 530 illegal immigrants it caught on another day of the Trump-era mass deportation campaign.

Official statistics show that as of 6:00 PM ET on Thursday, there were 373 criminal arrests and 165 non-criminal arrests. That includes more than 1,000 moves or repatriations. The agency also arrested sixteen gang members, including four members of the bloodthirsty Tren de Aragua.

According to ICE records, the arrests included one in Buffalo, New York, of an Ecuadorian convicted of rape. Also in Buffalo, officers arrested Pedro Julio Mejia, a Dominican Republic national convicted of sexual conduct against a child.

TRUMP’S ICE MAKES HUNDREDS OF ARRESTS, INCLUDING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARRESTED FOR HORROR CRIMES

In Chicago, officers arrested Rimon Aparicio-Pimentel, a Mexican with a previous conviction for attempted murder, for which he was sentenced to 17 years in prison. ICE filed a warrant for his arrest in 2017, but it was not honored by authorities, and he was released without notice to ICE.

The capture marks the last day of busy work for ICE, which is leading the mass deportation operation launched by the new administration. Before Thursday, ICE had made 460 arrests since Trump was inaugurated.

Trump has promised to “seal” the border and launch what he says will be a historic deportation campaign. On the first day, he signed ten orders related to the border, including orders to resume wall construction, end parole programs, restrict birthright rights, and send the military to the border.

His administration also ended a Biden-era directive on “sensitive places” where ICE could not conduct enforcement and removed restrictions on the use of expedited removals to quickly deport migrants.

Fox News witnessed it this week ICE Boston making eight arrests, including multiple MS-13, Interpol Red Notices, murder and rape suspects, and a fugitive Haitian gang member with 18 convictions in recent years who told our cameras he’s “not going back to Haiti” and “f— Trump, Biden forever!”

On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt pointed to the latest arrests as evidence that the administration is keeping its promises.
