Immigration and Customs Enforcement is blazing ahead with arresting criminal illegal immigrants in the U.S. – even though deportation efforts might be stalled in the courts.
A group of five violent criminals were picked up by ICE in the latest nationwide roundup on Tuesday, the Daily Mail can exclusively reveal.
DHS is eager to share its arrests of undocumented migrants convicted with violent crimes including murder, robbery, sexual assault and domestic violence.
A spokesperson for DHS tells the Daily Mail that these are the exact type of ‘worst of the worst criminal aliens’ who will be brought to the new Louisiana Lockup facility to await deportation.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is outside of Baton Rouge Wednesday to announce the opening of the new facility where criminal migrants will be held as they await deportation.
It comes after a court upheld an order last week that Florida’s Alligator Alcatraz migrant detention facility be shuttered.
And President Donald Trump faced another hit on Tuesday when an appeals court ruled that he could not use an 18th century wartime law to deport alleged members with the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
Despite the blockades derailing the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts, ICE insists its ‘mission remains clear’ to illegal immigrants: ‘If you come to America and break our laws, we will find you, arrest you, and you will never return.’
ICE reveals it arrested five migrants with criminal records on Tuesday in their nationwide crackdown on illegal immigration
Tuesday’s arrests include Lao Sihathep (pictured), who is originally from Laos and was convicted in Rochester, New York of murder
A spokesperson for the agency said that 70 percent of ICE arrests are of criminal illegal aliens with charges or convictions in the U.S.
Tuesday’s arrests include Lao Sihathep, who is originally from Laos and was convicted of murder in Rochester, New York.
He and the other four arrests revealed to the Daily Mail are dubbed by ICE as ‘criminal illegal aliens.’
Anderson Geovanny Arriola-Trejo, in the U.S. illegally from Honduras, was convicted of robbery in Tarrant County, Texas; and Jose Vail-Vasquez, a native of Guatemala, was convicted of first degree unlawful sexual contact in Georgetown, Delaware.
Mexican illegal migrant and convicted felon Wuenceslao Cisneros-Chavez was found in possession of a firearm and violated a court order to prevent domestic violence in Red Bluff, California.
The fifth migrant arrested on Tuesday was a Mexican woman, Sonia Natera-Mancillas, convicted of alien smuggling in the Western District of Texas.
‘These depraved criminal illegal aliens are off our streets because of our brave ICE law enforcement officers,’ a DHS spokesperson said in a statement to the Daily Mail.
‘Every single day they risk their lives to arrest the worst of the worst including murders, sexual predators, gang members, and terrorists,’ the spokesperson added.

ICE continues to conduct raids across the nation, arresting illegal immigrants – with 70% of arrests being of those with charges or convictions in the U.S.
ICE agents, according to a DHS spokesperson, are facing a 1,000 percent increase in assaults against them as they follow Trump’s orders to arrest, detain and deport immigrants in the U.S. illegally.
Trump’s administration is fighting to keep up deportations after vowing during his 2024 campaign to carry out ‘the largest domestic deportation operation in American history.’
Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, a key advisor and border hawk, has pushed for a target of 3,000 arrests per day. This would equate to 1 million per year.
But available figures do not indicate that the administration is on track with that goal.
Deportations in the first 100 days of Trump’s second term put arrests at around 600 per day.
