U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested multiple individuals with prior criminal convictions during operations conducted Thursday in several states. Among those taken into custody was a Mexican national in Salt Lake City previously convicted of attempted murder of a federal law enforcement officer, use of a firearm during a felony, and illegal possession of a handgun.
In Santa Clara, California, agents detained another Mexican national convicted of lewd or lascivious acts with a child.
County, North Carolina, authorities arrested a Mexican national convicted of second-degree forcible rape. In Pasadena, California, agents detained a Honduran national identified as a Latin Kings gang member who had been convicted of assault with a deadly weapon.
Officials stated the operations targeted individuals described as public safety threats. Department of Homeland Security acting assistant secretary Lauren Bis said the arrests were carried out by ICE personnel and that enforcement would continue under current administration policy.
DHS reported that nearly 70 percent of ICE arrests involve noncitizens previously charged or convicted of crimes in the United States.
