ICE nabs illegal aliens convicted of child sex crimes and meth trafficking in nationwide enforcement sweep

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested multiple individuals Wednesday who were convicted of serious crimes, including sexual assault and drug trafficking, as part of enforcement actions during National Crime Victims Week, officials said.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the arrests targeted individuals with prior convictions for offenses such as aggravated sexual assault, lewd acts with a child, assault by strangulation and distribution of methamphetamine.

"During National Crime Victims Week, DHS is continuing its work to fight for justice for victims of illegal alien crime," acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said in a statement. "By removing criminal illegal aliens from our communities, ICE is stopping them before they can perpetrate more crimes and create more victims."

Officials highlighted several of the arrests from this week.
