US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) continued its crackdown on the “worst of the worst” dangerous illegal immigrants over Halloween weekend, detaining criminals convicted of intercourse with minors, sexual abuse, kidnapping, homicide, and other serious crimes.
According to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security, 70 percent of ICE arrests are of criminal illegal aliens who have been charged or convicted in the United States.
