As Los Angeles turned into a turbulent hotspot in opposition to President Donald Trump’s extensive deportation initiative, Homeland Security emphasized its continued focus on removing the most dangerous illegal migrants from streets to safeguard law-abiding citizens.

Homeland Security has shared details of the criminal histories and mugshots of over 20 illegal migrants they recently detained. They face allegations of serious offenses such as murder, pedophilia, fentanyl trafficking, sexual assault, and armed robbery, according to the agency.

The arrests coincided with anti-ICE protesters causing chaos in the city earlier this month. During the disorder, protestors clashed with law enforcement using rocks and Molotov cocktails, and instances of vehicle arson and property destruction occurred. Some participants displayed foreign flags while engaging in these activities.

Others include predators convicted of sexual crimes against minors or incapacitated victims.

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin slammed those trying to stand in the way of immigration officials carrying out lawful immigration enforcement. 

“Under the Trump administration, 70% of illegal aliens arrested have been convicted or charged with a crime beyond illegally entering our country,” McLaughlin said.

“As bad-faith politicians attempt to demean and vilify our brave law enforcement, we will only double down and ramp up our enforcement actions against the worst of the worst criminals.”

Large-scale immigration raids conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement sparked widespread protests that escalated into violent confrontations.

President Trump activated the state’s National Guard and about 700 Marines despite pushback by LA Mayor Karen Bass and California Gov. Gavin Newsom, which helped quell the riots.

Also arrested in the recent operations were Hung Nguyen, of Vietnam, who has convictions for 22 crimes, including indecent exposure, theft and domestic violence, and Cristian Vasco-Echeverry of Colombia, who has a history of drug trafficking and served more than 10 years in a Colombian prison.
