Exclusive: ICE arrests illegal aliens convicted of child sex crime, forcible sexual assault, and drug trafficking

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested several illegal aliens this week who were previously convicted of sex and drug crimes, according to a Department of Homeland Security press release exclusively obtained by Blaze News.

The DHS said the operation is part of its ongoing campaign to remove "criminal illegal alien pedophiles, sexual deviants, drug dealers, and other violent criminals" from American communities.

‘We will never stop removing heinous criminals from our nation and making America safe again.’

"It's common sense: Americans don't want criminals in their communities," DHS acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis stated.
