ICE delivers 'greatest gift of all' with Christmas arrests of convicted criminals across multiple states

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced Saturday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested some of the "worst of the worst" criminal illegal immigrants on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

While many Americans spent the holidays with their loved ones, ICE agents put "their lives on the line" to track down and arrest "gang members, murderers, drug traffickers, and violent thugs," according to DHS assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin.

"While families across the country joined together for Christmas celebrations, ICE continued delivering the American people the greatest gift of all: getting criminals out of our neighborhoods and protecting our families," McLaughlin said in a statement.

The arrests included illegal immigrants from Mexico, Cuba, Somalia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Sudan, the Dominican Republic and Venezuela. All had past criminal convictions.
