The Trump administration is working around the clock to secure the border. Deportations are a major part of the plan.
And ICE reported to President Trump some stunning findings about their recent raids.
Trump’s ICE Arrests And Deports Dozens Of Top Violent Criminals On The Run
President Donald Trump’s administration marked its first 100 days with a relentless focus on national security and public safety. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents executed a series of high-profile arrests targeting migrants with criminal records, signaling a robust commitment to law enforcement. A document first shared with the reporters over at the Daily Caller detailed these operations, showcasing the administration’s determination to protect American communities from dangerous offenders.
The week commemorating Trump’s 100-day milestone saw ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) intensify efforts nationwide. Along the White House north lawn, booking photos of illegal migrants with convictions or pending charges were prominently displayed, serving as a stark reminder of the administration’s priorities. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released specifics on five significant cases, emphasizing the gravity of the crimes committed by those apprehended. These actions resonate with Trump’s campaign promises to restore order and prioritize the safety of American citizens.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem took to social media to amplify the administration’s message, sharing additional arrests and underscoring the scale of ICE’s operations. “Every single day I receive a report on my desk of the m*rderers, r*pists, child abusers, and other sickos that our ICE enforcement agents are arresting around the country,” Noem wrote. She noted that under Trump’s leadership, ICE has arrested over 150,000 aliens, including more than 600 members of the notorious Tren de Aragua gang. Her words convey a clear stance: “If you are here illegally and break the law, we will hunt you down, arrest you and lock you up.”
In Holland, Michigan, ERO Detroit apprehended Ludwig Ivan Castaneda-Gonzalez, a 33-year-old Mexican national with a disturbing criminal record. DHS confirmed his conviction for criminal s*xual conduct involving a minor aged 13 to 15, a charge encompassing all s*x offenses under Michigan law. This arrest exemplifies the administration’s focus on removing predators from American streets, ensuring that those who prey on the vulnerable face swift justice.
Meanwhile, in Texas, ERO Houston detained Jesus Arriaga-Gamez, a 61-year-old Mexican citizen convicted of aggravated s*xual assault of a child in Cameron County. While DHS did not disclose his full criminal history, the severity of his offense underscores the necessity of ICE’s targeted operations. The Trump administration’s unwavering stance on deporting such offenders sends a powerful message to communities plagued by crime.
On the East Coast, ERO Boston arrested Mario Alexander Ochoa-Lemus, a 33-year-old El Salvadoran national, in a sanctuary city. His rap sheet includes convictions for rape and abuse of a child, child pornography, and witness intimidation in Boston. Notably, Ochoa-Lemus had been arrested by ICE in 2018 for the same charges, but was released after navigating the local court system, highlighting the challenges posed by sanctuary policies. The Trump administration’s renewed focus on detaining such individuals aims to close these loopholes and prioritize public safety.
The case of Kwadwo Boaitey Frimpong, a 32-year-old Ghanaian national, further illustrates ICE’s reach. Arrested by ERO Baltimore, Frimpong entered the U.S. on an F-1 visa in 2019 but was later convicted on seven counts of possessing child pornography. DHS confirmed he will remain in custody pending removal proceedings. This arrest demonstrates the administration’s commitment to upholding immigration laws and ensuring that those who violate both criminal and immigration statutes face consequences.
Trump’s second term has been defined by decisive action at the southern border, fulfilling his pledge to curb illegal immigration. Following an estimated 11 million border encounters during the Biden-Harris years, the administration has slashed daily border encounters by 93%, with migrant crossings plummeting by 99.99% since Trump’s inauguration. These figures demonstrate the effectiveness of his policies and the renewed vigor of agencies like ICE in securing the nation’s borders.
By targeting criminal migrants and strengthening immigration controls, the administration is delivering on its promise to protect American communities. ICE officials have informed reporters that there’s no intentions to slow down the deportations process, targeting specifically violent criminals in particular.
Illegal Criminals Deportations Being Paid For By Home Countries
The Trump administration has ramped up its immigration enforcement with a vigor that’s sending a clear message: those who break U.S. laws and borders will face swift consequences. On April 29, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) executed a major deportation operation, sending more than 130 illegal immigrants back to Central Asian countries. The majority—90 individuals—were repatriated to Uzbekistan, many carrying troubling criminal records that justified their removal.
The deportees, apprehended in cities like New York and Ohio, included individuals with serious offenses tied to their names. One such case involved Kobiljon Nomoz Ugli Makhmudov, an Uzbek national convicted of attempted abduction in January. “Makhmudov was found guilty of attempted abduction in January after being arrested in Blue Ash, Ohio, on kidnapping and robbery charges in 2022,” ICE reported. His deportation underscores the administration’s focus on removing those who pose a direct threat to American communities, ensuring that dangerous individuals are not allowed to roam free.
Another deportee, Oleg Korsuntsev, had a lengthy rap sheet stretching back over a decade. “Oleg Korsuntsev, who was first arrested in 2008 for attempted assault, then again in 2009 for criminal mischief and finally in 2019 for first degree attempted assault in Brooklyn,” was among those sent back. His repeated run-ins with the law, culminating in a serious assault charge, made him a prime candidate for removal. The Trump administration’s decisive action in cases like these demonstrates a no-nonsense approach to tackling crime committed by illegal immigrants.
Burkhon Achilov, another Uzbek deportee, added to the list of concerning cases. “Burkhon Achilov was convicted in January of breaking and entering in Warren County, Ohio, along with resisting arrest,” ICE noted, adding that he served nearly 300 days in jail before his deportation. His removal signals that even lesser crimes, when committed by those here illegally, will not be overlooked. The administration’s stance is clear: every illegal immigrant with a criminal record is on notice.
The operation wasn’t limited to Uzbekistan. Migrants from Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan were also included on the deportation flights, showing the Trump administration’s comprehensive approach to addressing illegal immigration across multiple regions. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) worked closely with foreign governments to make this happen, with Uzbekistan fully funding the return of its nationals. This international cooperation is a testament to the administration’s ability to forge effective partnerships that serve American interests.
DHS officials praised the operation’s success, emphasizing its importance to national security. “The Department of Homeland Security’s coordination with the government of Uzbekistan was instrumental in the successful removal of these individuals,” said DHS Enforcement and Removal Operations Philadelphia Field Office Director Brian McShane. His words point to the meticulous planning and diplomatic efforts that ensure these deportations are carried out efficiently, allowing ICE to focus on its core mission.
McShane went on to commend the leadership driving these efforts. “It is precisely this kind of leadership that enables ICE to continue to fulfill its mission of protecting the American public by ensuring that our immigration enforcement efforts uphold safety and security for communities across the country.” The Trump administration’s policies have empowered ICE to act decisively, prioritizing the deportation of criminals who threaten the well-being of American citizens.
Since President Trump took office on January 20, the pace of deportations has been relentless. By April, over 100,000 illegal immigrants had been removed, with a particular emphasis on those with criminal backgrounds.
