ICE arrests “illegal criminal immigrants” across the U.S.; military flights expedite deportations amid public safety concerns.

Among those detained are individuals with alarming criminal records. For example, a 53-year-old citizen from El Salvador in Tacoma, Washington, has multiple convictions for child molestation and rape.

Similarly, a 45-year-old Mexican national in Dallas faces charges for aggravated sexual assault of a child and illegal reentry after removal.

ICE officials emphasized that this operation focuses on individuals who pose significant threats to national security and community safety.

This crackdown comes amid growing concerns about the increasing number of criminal immigrants entering the United States.

Recent data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shows that over 13,000 “criminal noncitizens” were apprehended by Border Patrol agents in Fiscal Year 2024 alone.

This marks a sharp rise compared to previous years.

Officials attribute this increase to lax border policies and heightened immigration attempts.

Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg expressed concern over the violence associated with undocumented immigrants:


“We must remain vigilant to prevent tragic incidents caused by individuals who should not be here.

In addition to arrests, military flights have been deployed to expedite the deportation of noncitizens with criminal backgrounds. These flights aim to remove individuals deemed dangerous more efficiently.

The implications of these operations are significant for communities nationwide.

The arrests and deportations are part of ICE’s broader strategy to enhance public safety by targeting individuals with criminal records. In fiscal year 2023, ICE arrested nearly 170,590 illegal immigrants, with almost half having prior criminal charges.

While these actions address immediate safety concerns, experts warn they also highlight the complexities of immigration enforcement.

Tensions within immigrant communities could rise as a result of these measures.
