Exclusive: ICE arrests criminal illegal alien who allegedly operated shady unlicensed dental clinic
Immigration and Customs Enforcement highlighted the Wednesday arrests of several “worst of the worst” criminal illegal aliens, including a man who had been accused of operating an unlicensed dental practice, according to a Department of Homeland Security press release exclusively obtained by Blaze News.
‘ALL of them WILL be deported, never to return and harm another American AGAIN.’
On Wednesday, federal immigration officials nabbed Jose Alfredo Uzeta, an illegal immigrant from Mexico who was previously convicted of dentistry act violation and indecent assault in Harris County, Texas.
A 2023 report by KTRK-TV accused Uzeta of operating an unlicensed practice for two decades. Uzeta previously told a judge that he was seeing approximately eight patients a day. During an appointment for her braces, one patient claimed that Uzeta unhooked her bra, massaged her, and attempted to kiss her. Police uncovered the illegal practice when the patient reported Uzeta’s inappropriate conduct.
“For 20 years, Uzeta preyed on vulnerable Americans, charging for dental procedures he had absolutely no business of performing. Worse, he sexually violated one of his patients who trusted him,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated.
“In addition to this monster, ICE also arrested child predators, murderers, and violent assailants — ALL of them WILL be deported, never to return and harm another American AGAIN,” McLaughlin added.

ICE also arrested Mahmoud Telfah, a criminal illegal alien from Jordan. Earlier this year, Telfah was convicted of two counts, including child solicitation by electronic communication device and meets with a child, as well as attempted sexual exploitation of children by prostitution, according to the New Mexico Department of Justice.
A criminal complaint revealed that Telfah attempted to solicit sexual acts from an undercover Albuquerque Police Department detective whom he believed to be a 15-year-old female.

Los Angeles County Democrats vote to ban ICE from using masks — and the DOJ issues defiant response
The Democrat-controlled Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted to ban the use of masks by federal officials, and the Justice Dept. responded immediately with a fiery statement.
All of the Democrats on the board voted 4-0 in favor of the ordinance on Tuesday, with the lone Republican member abstaining. A second vote on Dec. 9 is needed to pass it. If that happens, law enforcement officers will be required to wear visible identification and agency affiliation.
‘We will not expose our brave men and women to personal attacks by allowing agitators to dox them and their families through facial recognition tools.’
Bill Essayli, the first assistant U.S. attorney for the Central District of California, responded immediately to the vote.
“Let me be very clear: the county has no jurisdiction over federal agents, and we will not comply with any state or local laws restricting federal law enforcement,” he posted in a statement on social media.
“Our agents are under unprecedented assault in Los Angeles, largely due to reckless narratives and rhetoric advanced by the media and local politicians,” he added. “We will not expose our brave men and women to personal attacks by allowing agitators to dox them and their families through facial recognition tools.”
In a statement about the vote, Supervisor Janice Hahn accused ICE of behaving like an “authoritarian secret police” force.
“This is how authoritarian secret police behaves — not legitimate law enforcement in a democracy,” Hahn said.
“ICE agents are violating our residents’ rights every day they are on our streets. These agents hide their faces. They refuse to wear badges,” she continued. “They pull people into unmarked vans at gunpoint and wonder why people resist arrest. We are declaring in no uncertain terms that in L.A. County, police do not hide their faces. That is our expectation, and this ordinance will now make it our law.”

If approved in the second vote, the mask ban will go into effect 30 days after that vote.
Hahn added that the board expects the Trump administration to challenge the ban in court, and it is prepared to take on the court battle.

‘Climbing into the ceiling tiles’: DHS immigration raids hit Charlotte, where 1 in 6 residents are foreign-born
The Trump administration’s immigration enforcement operations have expanded to Charlotte, North Carolina.
Operation Charlotte’s Web launched on Saturday, as federal agents aimed to arrest criminal illegal aliens.
‘An illegal alien from Mexico gets deported 4 times, strolls back to Charlotte, then racks up a hit & run AND a DUI/DWI?’
Of the 900,000 residents in Charlotte, 150,000 are foreign-born, according to CBS News.
The Department of Homeland Security blamed “sanctuary politicians” for the state’s failure to honor 1,400 detainer requests, choosing instead to release offenders back onto the streets.
“Americans should be able to live without fear of violent criminal illegal aliens hurting them, their families, or their neighbors,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated. “We are surging DHS law enforcement to Charlotte to ensure Americans are safe and public safety threats are removed. There have been too many victims of criminal illegal aliens. President Trump and Secretary Noem will step up to protect Americans when sanctuary politicians won’t.”
Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino stated that, on the first day alone, federal agents arrested over 80 individuals. He noted that most of those arrested have “significant criminal and immigration history.”

A leftist activist confronted Bovino over the weekend while federal agents were arresting an alleged illegal alien, according to a video uploaded to social media.
“Are you doing nice things?” the activist asked Bovino.
“Absolutely, making the community safer for you,” Bovino responded.
The Border Patrol commander highlighted some of the recent Charlotte arrests on X.
“Let’s paint this picture for you. An illegal alien from Mexico gets deported 4 times, strolls back to Charlotte, then racks up a hit & run AND a DUI/DWI?” Bovino wrote. “It’s time to go back home.”

“Who’s at the same grocery store as you?” he wrote in a separate post. “This illegal alien from Honduras with a criminal history. He has arrests for aggravated assault, assault with a dangerous weapon & DUI. He has also been removed from the U.S. twice, so now that he’s here AGAIN, he committed a felony by re-entering the U.S.”
Reports surfaced on Sunday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents shot an individual amid the ongoing operations; however, those claims were debunked by McLaughlin.
“This criminal illegal alien from Mexico had a panic attack and was taken to the hospital where he attempted to escape by climbing into the ceiling tiles from the hospital bathroom. He was unsuccessful and was apprehended inside the ceiling by law enforcement,” McLaughlin stated. “He has a prior arrest for assault.”

Illegal alien gunned down 3 co-workers before apparently turning gun on himself
A Honduran national in the U.S. illegally reportedly murdered three of his co-workers in Texas over the weekend before committing suicide.
On Saturday morning, Jose David Hernandez Galo, 21, arrived at his place of employment, Mission Landscape Supplies in San Antonio, and open-fired on his colleagues, reports indicate. Police received a call around 7:45 a.m. about a shooting in progress.
‘The Biden administration policies at the time did not consider Galo, or his family unit, a priority.’
While some people at the business managed to flee for safety when the shooting began, three people were tragically struck and killed: Karen Bautista, 24; Selvin Chacon, 48; and Sergio Chacon, 38. According to a GoFundMe, Selvin and Sergio were brothers.
All three victims were from Honduras, according to KENS. They were declared dead at the scene.
Hours later, Galo was discovered with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

San Antonio Police Chief William McManus claimed that while a motive for the horrific incident remains unknown, the deadly shooting was not random, per KSAT.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued a statement about Galo, claiming that he and his family entered the U.S. illegally from Honduras in April 2019, when Galo was still a minor. The family was arrested the same day and ordered to appear before an immigration judge, the agency claimed, according to KENS.
“This senseless tragedy could have been prevented. The family unit has not reported in to ICE since July 2022. The Biden administration policies at the time did not consider Galo, or his family unit, a priority,” ICE stated.
Blaze News reached out to Mission Landscape Supplies for comment.
