ICE busts child rapist and murderer — 70% of agency’s arrests target criminal illegal aliens with prior charges, convictions
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents continue their efforts to remove the most dangerous criminal illegal aliens from American communities.
The Department of Homeland Security highlighted the Tuesday arrests of five illegal aliens in a press release exclusively obtained by Blaze News.
‘What the media and sanctuary politicians do not want the American public to know is 70% of ICE arrests are of criminal illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the US.’
“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the arrest of more worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from across the country, including those convicted of first-degree rape of a child, homicide, and arson,” the DHS wrote.
Federal agents captured Eduardo Salgado-Martinez, a Mexican national who was previously convicted of first-degree rape of a child in Benton County, Washington.
A 2019 local news report by KEPR-TV explained that Salgado-Martinez’s charges stemmed from an attack in 1995 but that he spent years on the run. Prosecutors claimed he raped two boys, a 7-year-old and a 6-year-old, whom he was babysitting.
Salgado-Martinez’s brother was found guilty of similar charges.
