Here Are The ‘Worst’ Criminal Illegal Immigrants ICE Arrested In Trump’s First Year In Office
President Donald Trump promised that he would carry out a historic mass deportation campaign once he took office one year ago.
Since then, federal authorities have deported more than 670,000 illegal immigrants. Additionally, roughly 1.9 million illegal immigrants have left the United States on their own.
“On President Trump’s first day in office, he unleashed ICE to target the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens, including pedophiles, murderers, gang members, terrorists, and rapists,” Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement shared with The Daily Wire.
“Today, we thank our law enforcement for a record-breaking first year of achievements including more than 670,000 removals and two million self-deportations. DHS is committed to continuing to remove dangerous illegal aliens from American communities. 70% of ICE arrests [are] of criminal illegal aliens who have been convicted or charged with a crime in the U.S. We will not rest until American communities are free of the scourge of illegal alien crime,” she added.
The Department of Homeland Security shared the “worst” illegal immigrants nabbed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement since Inauguration Day with The Daily Wire. Here are their rap sheets.
ICE officers arrested Uzbek national Akhror Bozorov, who was wanted in his home country for belonging to a terrorist organization, on November 9 in Kansas while he was working as a commercial truck driver.
They also nabbed Afghan national Jaan Shah Safi in Waynesboro, Virginia, in December after he provided support to the ISIS-K, while his father was found to be a commander of a militia group in Afghanistan. Safi entered the United States during former President Joe Biden’s “Operation Allies Welcome,” which brought over thousands of Afghans following the botched troop withdrawal.
In April, ICE arrested Harpreet Singh, an illegal immigrant who was wanted in India for his ties to terrorist activities that included planning more than a dozen grenade attacks on police officials, according to DHS. Singh crossed the border illegally during the Biden administration and was swiftly admitted into the country.
MS-13 leader Rene Escobar-Ochoa, who had an INTERPOL Red Notice from El Salvador for drug trafficking and conspiracy to commit murder, was arrested by ICE in July.
The Trump administration has also targeted Tren de Aragua gangbangers, including Yorvis Michel Carrascal Campo, who was charged with murder, racketeering, and drug trafficking in New Mexico. ICE arrested the Venezuelan gang member in Colorado Springs on January 8.
Campo allegedly took part in a brutal kidnapping, where gangbangers strangled the victim in a New Mexico apartment before they buried his body in the remote desert, according to the Department of Justice.
ICE arrested the now-former superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools, Ian Andre Roberts, on September 26, after learning that he’s an illegal immigrant from Guyana with a deportation order, according to DHS.
During the arrest, the officers found that he had an illegal handgun, a hunting knife, and nearly $3,000 in cash.
Roberts arrived in the United States in 1994 as a tourist before he got a student visa in 1999, according to DHS. He was charged in 1996 with criminal possession of narcotics with intent to sell, criminal possession of narcotics, criminal possession of a forgery device, and possession of a forged instrument in New York.
He faced charges for third-degree unauthorized use of a vehicle in Queens, New York, two years later, but the case was later dismissed.
In 2012, Roberts was convicted of reckless driving, unsafe operation, and speeding in Maryland.
He was charged in 2020 for second-degree criminal possession of a weapon (having a loaded firearm outside his home or business); third-degree criminal possession of a weapon (an ammunition feeding device); and a fourth-degree weapon offense, according to DHS.
He was convicted of unlawful possession of a loaded firearm in Pennsylvania in 2022.
Roberts was also denied a green card four different times. He was still given a work permit, which expired on December 18, 2020, three years before he took the role in Des Moines.
Roberts was absent from his immigration hearing when a judge ordered his deportation.
ICE also arrested Harneet Singh, 25, of India, in August after an 18-wheeler he was a passenger in made an illegal U-turn on a Florida turnpike, killing three people. His brother, Harjinder Singh, who was behind the wheel, now faces three counts of vehicular homicide.
The crash sparked the Trump administration to crack down on states issuing commercial driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants.
The feds took Honduran MS-13 leader Gerson Emir Cuadra Soto off the streets in December after learning that he was wanted in his home country for a quadruple homicide.
Soto crossed the border illegally after he bribed his way out of a jail in Honduras, where he was being held on firearms charges.
ICE also took Honduran illegal immigrant Olvin Rodriguez-Inestroza off the streets after he had active warrants for 394 counts of pornography involving juveniles and two counts of sexual abuse of an animal, according to DHS.
Agents arrested Aldrin Guerrero-Munoz in October after he was incarcerated for more than two decades for the intentional murder of his three-month-old son. While he was behind bars, Guerrero-Munoz was convicted of assaulting another inmate.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration isn’t letting up and continues to carry out major immigration sweeps across the country. DHS recently deployed thousands of federal agents to Minnesota to push through anti-ICE agitators trying to obstruct arrest operations and continue to chip away at their list of thousands of targets roaming the sanctuary state.
