Congresswoman Claudia Tenney praised U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and federal law enforcement for arresting 133 illegal aliens in Upstate New York. The arrests occurred in Western, Central, and Northern parts of the state.
“President Trump and Border Czar Homan are prioritizing getting the worst of the worst out of our country, and that includes some of the illegal immigrants apprehended in the recent ICE operation in Upstate New York. Under the Biden administration, CBP and ICE were unable to carry out their mission as Sanctuary City Governors and Mayors illegally allowed dangerous criminals to roam free throughout our towns and cities. Now, under President Trump’s America First Agenda, these law enforcement officers are able to perform their critical national security mission, working diligently to make our country safer each and every day. Thank you to the courageous law enforcement officers for your dedication to public safety, and thank you to President Trump for upholding your commitment to getting these illegal immigrants out of our country,” said Congresswoman Tenney.
Some individuals arrested include a 49-year-old from Trinidad and Tobago convicted of murder, a 66-year-old from the Dominican Republic convicted of sexual conduct with a child, and a 32-year-old from El Salvador convicted of murder and gang assault. Others include a 70-year-old from the Dominican Republic convicted of manslaughter, a 50-year-old from China convicted of assault, and a 42-year-old from Mexico convicted of drug-related conspiracy. Also, a 24-year-old from Ecuador with multiple DWI convictions and a 43-year-old H-2A visa holder from South Africa facing child pornography charges were apprehended.
