U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said it arrested multiple people over the weekend who have been convicted of serious crimes, including offenses involving children, assault, and kidnapping.
In a statement, the agency said those taken into custody included individuals convicted of indecency with a child, continuous sexual abuse of a child, aggravated sexual assault, and kidnapping, among other crimes.
“Over the weekend ICE arrested pedophiles, sexual deviants, kidnappers, and other violent thugs,” Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said. “Every day, our law enforcement officers remove heinous criminals from our communities. If you come to our country illegally and break our laws, we will find you and arrest you. Criminals are not welcome in the U.S.”
Rafael Garcia
— Arrested by ICE
ICE identified one individual as Rafael Garcia, a Mexican national convicted of continuous sexual abuse of a child in Fresno County.
The agency said it would continue enforcement efforts targeting people it described as threats to public safety.
