Halloween Weekend Picks Up Convicted Sex Offenders, Killers and Kidnappers

FIRST ON FOX: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) continued its crackdown on the “worst of the worst” dangerous illegal immigrants over Halloween weekend, arresting criminals convicted of sex with minors, sexual abuse, kidnapping, homicide and other serious crimes.

The Department of Homeland Security emphasized that 70 percent of ICE arrests involve criminal illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the United States, according to a statement to Fox News Digital.

An illegal felon, Sisawang Khambounheuang, of Laos, was arrested by ICE after being convicted of illegal sexual intercourse with a minor in San Diego. Just to the north, another criminal illegal alien, Milton Rene Mendez-Arevalo of Guatemala, was arrested after being convicted of kidnapping in Los Angeles.

In Houston, where ICE arrested more than 120 illegal immigrants over the weekend, the agency arrested illegal Honduran criminal Hector Eugenio Ramirez-Martinez, who was convicted of indecency with sexual contact with children in Harris County. Another, Francisco Nava-Garcia, of Mexico, was arrested in Houston after being convicted of assaulting a member of his family or household.

ICE also continued its crackdown in Florida, arresting Lazaro Mateo Ruiz of Cuba, who was convicted of homicide, weapons offenses and theft in Miami-Dade County. On Florida’s Gulf Coast, ICE arrested Juan Gomez-Gutierrez of Colombia, who was convicted of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute five kilograms of cocaine while aboard a ship in Tampa.

Another drug distributor, Juan Brito-Rios, of Mexico, was arrested by ICE following his conviction for possession with intent to distribute one kilogram or more of heroin, five kilograms or more of cocaine and money laundering in the Middle District Court of Tennessee.

In Illinois, a sanctuary state that has resisted the Trump administration’s crackdown, ICE arrested Brigidio Ovido Gomez Garcia of Guatemala, who was convicted of aggravated domestic battery, domestic battery and driving under the influence in Wheaton, a Chicago suburb.

Commenting on the arrests, DHS Deputy Secretary Tricia McLaughlin pointed out that despite the misgivings of pro-sanctuary politicians, 70 percent of all ICE arrests are of illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the United States.

“President Trump and Secretary Noem launched ICE to remove the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from American communities,” McLaughlin told Fox News Digital.

“Despite the Democratic government shutdown, ICE continues to arrest criminal illegal aliens across the country,” she continued. “While Americans were enjoying their weekends, ICE was hard at work taking the worst off our streets, including pedophiles, murderers, and kidnappers.”
