The News

Immigration and Enforcement Operations (ICE) officers arrested nearly 1,400 criminal aliens in the Houston area in June. Officials told Breitbart Texas that these criminal aliens include 32 child predators, nine murderers, one illegal alien convicted of hijacking an airplane, and 16 cartel or gang members.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers assigned to the Houston Field Office arrested 1,361 criminal aliens in June, according to information reviewed by Breitbart Texas on Saturday. These illegal aliens had been convicted of, or were charged with, criminal offenses after illegally entering the United States.

Officials say that 32 of these criminal aliens were convicted of sex crimes against children, nine more were convicted for homicide-related offenses, and 16 were documented members of a transnational gang or drug cartel. One of the criminal aliens has a previous conviction for hijacking an airplane from Cuba to Key West, Florida, officials disclosed.

Reactions

“Despite attempts by some to undermine our mission by spreading false and malicious rumors, the brave men and women of ICE continue to work tirelessly around the clock targeting dangerous criminal aliens to restore integrity to our nation’s immigration system and bolster public safety in our communities,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Houston acting Field Office Director Gabriel Martinez.

“The number of dangerous criminal aliens that they removed from local communities across Southeast Texas last month is just another example of their selfless and unyielding efforts to return our local communities to places where we can all raise our families without having to worry about child predators, gang members, or other violent criminal aliens preying on our loved ones.”
