‘Some of the worst’: White House spotlights illegal aliens already arrested under Trump’s plan
The White House has begun spotlighting some of the criminal illegal aliens who already have been arrested under President Donald Trump’s border security agenda.
That includes not just securing the border but also arresting and deporting those who broke the law to enter the U.S. illegally, and especially those who also are criminals.
Under President Trump’s leadership, @ICEgov agents are working tirelessly to protect our communities. From child rapists to suspected ISIS terrorists, here are some of the worst

And an MS-13 gang member from El Salvador wanted for aggravated homicide. And another wanted for aggravated homicide.
And a Honduran national found with cocaine, fentanyl and a firearm. And a murder suspect wanted by INTERPOL.

Others included those who were convicted of sexual abuse, kidnapping, assault, manslaughter, and much more.
A report from a CBS affiliate in Colorado confirmed that agents raided a “makeshift nightclub” near Denver over the weekend and captured almost 50 people, many who reportedly are affiliated with the violent Tren de Aragua gang from Venezuela, whose members have been disrupting the local economy by simply moving in and taking over various apartment buildings, collecting rent from the residents who previously had been paying the building owners.
The report said, “TdA gang activity is partly to blame for unsafe conditions at several apartment buildings in Aurora. City officials there announced last week their intent to seek closure of the five remaining buildings in the Edge of Lowry complex at Dallas Street and East 12th Avenue. Residents have already been asked to vacate a sixth building in which a migrant couple was taken captive and beaten by alleged gang members late last year.”
Previously police there said 19 people were arrested after an investigation, including 16 who are part of the gang.
Fox News reported that on Sunday alone, the Trump campaign to remove illegal aliens, especially criminals, from the United States took into custody nearly 1,000.
The report said a Nicaraguan national was arrested in Florida for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, unlawful carrying of a concealed weapon, discharging a firearm in public and driving with a suspended license; a Jamaican was arrested for possession of oxycodone and displaying a firearm during a felony offense, and more.
Hundreds of similar arrests have been made each day since President Donald Trump was inaugurated a week ago.
Border Czar Tom Homan confirmed those deportation numbers will be going up, and the security plan ramps up to full speed.
Over the weekend, an impasse developed in Trump’s program when Colombian President Gustavo Petro refused two U.S. flights carrying deportees back to their homes there permission to land.
It was resolved within hours when Trump then announced a 25% tariff on Columbian goods, and that prompted Petro to back down.
“For Trump, the episode gave him a chance to show the rest of Latin America the risks they face if they do not fall in line with his deportation plan,” a report said.
A commentary at Twitchy explained, “During his administration, Joe Biden defended his open border policies by calling all those who streamed into the country on his watch (along with ‘border czar’ Kamala Harris and DHS Secretary Mayorkas) ‘model citizens.'”
While demanding that Congress support his open-borders agenda, Biden had said, “We are a nation of immigrants and we shouldn’t forget it. … Give me a break. These have been model citizens. Congress has to act.”
