“Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, ICE is targeting the worst of the worst,” a DHS spokesperson said. “Nearly 70% of ICE arrests are of illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the U.S. Our message is clear: if you come into our country illegally and break our laws, we will find you, we will arrest you, and we will deport you.”
