Release Date: June 11, 2025

The rioters will not stop or slow ICE down from arresting criminal illegal aliens

WASHINGTON - Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released more information about some of the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens arrested during the ongoing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation in Los Angeles (LA), California (CA).

ICE will continue to enforce the law and arrest criminal illegal aliens.”
