FOX FIRST: The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the arrests of numerous illegal immigrants in New Jersey last week, including those previously convicted of manslaughter, sex crimes and weapons charges.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests come amid violent protests outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey, over illegal migrants’ living conditions in the facility.
“While sanctuary politicians and leftist agitators spread false smears about the Delaney Hall ICE facility, the brave men and women of ICE are still hard at work removing criminal illegal aliens from New Jersey,” DHS acting assistant secretary Lauren Bis told Fox News Digital. “In New Jersey, they have removed dangerous criminal illegal aliens with criminal histories that include voluntary manslaughter, sex assault, burglary, fraud, terroristic threats and aggravated assault.”
“These sanctuary politicians need to stop peddling false smears about ICE detention facilities and start thanking ICE law enforcement officers for getting these thugs off New Jersey streets,” Bis continued. “We will not let violent rioters slow us down from making America safe again.”
