On December 19, 2025, ICE agents apprehended two criminals in Massachusetts: a Brazilian convicted of child rape and a Cambodian murderer. Their capture highlights a critical flaw in sanctuary policies that allow foreign offenders to evade justice within the United States. (ICE Arrests Gang Members, Drug Traffickers, Violent Criminal Illegal Aliens in Sanctuary State Massachusetts, 2025)
“These individuals had significant criminality. They are criminal offenders who victimized innocent people and traumatized entire communities — murderers, rapists, drug traffickers, child sex predators,” declared ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde [1]. Her words revealed the disturbing reality American families face every day.
These arrests represent only a small part of the broader challenge posed by criminal activity among undocumented immigrants. (Operation Patriot Results in Numerous Arrests of Criminal Illegal Aliens with Detainers that Were Ignored Due to Sanctuary Policies, 2025) ICE and federal partners arrested 1,461 individuals in Massachusetts during Operation Patriot in a single month [1]. Each arrest may have prevented further harm. (Enforcement, 2025)
The authorities caught an illegally present 29-year-old Brazilian national in Edgartown. He faced charges of aggravated rape of a child (Operation Patriot Results in Numerous Arrests of Criminal Illegal Aliens with Detainers that Were Ignored Due to Sanctuary Policies, 2025)by force, possession of child pornography, and dissemination of obscene material [1]. This predator was reportedly found living just two blocks from Oak Bluffs School, highlighting the immediate danger posed to local children and families. (Genter, 2024)
ICE also captured a 45-year-old Guatemalan national convicted of murder in Boston. He had received a life sentence [1]. This killer should never have been in our country. He belonged behind bars or should have faced immediate deportation. (ICE Arrests Gang Members, Drug Traffickers, Violent Criminal Illegal Aliens in Sanctuary State Massachusetts, 2025)
Sanctuary politicians compromise public safety by prioritizing non-cooperation with ICE, resulting in criminal illegal aliens remaining in communities. (ICE Arrests Criminal Illegal Aliens Including Rapists, Kidnappers, and Gang Members in Sanctuary Cities, 2025) Officials in Massachusetts, Philadelphia, Boston, Newark, and California actively block ICE efforts and put these offenders ahead of citizen safety [2].
“The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is a safer place today thanks to the hard work and determination of the men and women of ICE and our federal partners,” Hyde stated [1]. Our heroes shouldn’t have to fight their own government to protect us.
The December sweep follows a pattern of criminal illegal aliens who exploit sanctuary policies. (ICE Arrests Gang Members, Drug Traffickers, Violent Criminal Illegal Aliens in Sanctuary State Massachusetts, 2025) ICE recently arrested Fernando Benitez-Rivas, an 18-year-old criminal, an undocumented alien from El Salvador. His criminal history includes rape, causing serious physical injury, assault, and sex offenses [2]. That same day, agents caught Brandon Barrientos-Garcia, a 28-year-old criminal illegal alien from Guatemala, who committed assault by strangulation and domestic violence [2].
“This operation, while a massive success, also serves as a solemn reminder of the profound impact that immigrant violence and crime can have on victims and their loved ones,” stated ICE Director Todd Lyons [2]. “ICE’s mission is to ensure that no more Americans will fall victim to illegal alien crime.”
Sanctuary state failures keep piling up nationwide. (Mehlman, 2025) New York’s sanctuary policies led to the release of 6,947 criminal illegal aliens since January 20 [2]. These weren’t minor offenders – their crimes included 29 homicides, 2,509 assaults, 199 burglaries, 305 robberies, 392 dangerous drugs offenses, 300 weapons offenses, and 207 sexual predatory offenses [2]. To put this into perspective, New York has a population of approximately 19.8 million people; therefore, while the number of releases is concerning, it represents a fraction of the overall population. However, the impact on local communities and public safety is significant, magnifying the urgency for action against such policies. (Hausman, 2020)
Many individuals remain in custody. New York currently has 7,113 people with active ICE detainers that have not been acted upon by local officials [2]. This includes 148 individuals charged with homicide [2].
Homeland Security Investigations New England Special Agent in Charge Michael J. Krol spoke clearly about these risks: “We are working diligently alongside our fellow law enforcement partners to make our communities safer through the arrest and ultimate removal of nearly 1,500 individuals who flouted the laws of our nation when they chose to remain here without legal status. Among those arrested are truly alarming criminals: murderers wanted in their home countries, child predators, and drug traffickers” [1].
The situation gets worse. Immigration judges had previously ordered 277 of those caught during Operation Patriot to leave the United States [1]. They refused to leave, ignored American sovereignty, and kept endangering our communities. (Texas, 2025)
FBI Boston acting Special Agent in Charge Kimberly Milka described the operation as “a massive, multiagency immigration enforcement operation aimed at keeping our region safe from habitual lawbreakers who have flouted our country’s immigration laws and, in many cases, committed violent crimes that have endangered our families, friends, and neighbors for far too long” [1].
ICE’s Acting Director Lyons made his priorities clear. The agency will focus on arresting and deporting “the worst of the worst” – those illegally in America with serious criminal histories [2]. Under his leadership, ICE has deported nearly 150,000 people in just six months [2].
Sanctuary city policies and open borders still enable criminal aliens despite these efforts. It’s important to acknowledge that some studies suggest immigration as a whole does not lead to a significant rise in overall crime. However, the subset of violent felons within the immigrant population presents a different risk. Lyons spoke after an illegal alien shot a Customs and Border Protection officer: “Sanctuary city policies and the Biden administration’s open border policies allowed two criminal illegal aliens to enter this country, roam free, and commit multiple crimes with no repercussions” [2].
The December 19 arrests represent a significant step in ongoing efforts to address public safety concerns related to undocumented individuals with criminal records.
II. The Monsters Exposed: Brazilian Predator & Cambodian Butcher
The December ICE arrests revealed a disturbing truth about foreign criminals who crossed our borders to target American communities. Two dangerous offenders stood out in the December 19 operations.
Authorities report that Araujo was convicted of serious offenses, including child rape, assault, and possession of child pornography in Fall River.
Brazilian national Antony Araujo exemplifies the failures in our immigration system. Authorities arrested him in Fall River with a criminal record that would terrify any parent [3]. His record shows convictions for rape of a child, indecent assault and battery on a child under 14, and possession of child pornography [3].
He entered the United States without authorization through San Luis, Arizona [3], and later traveled to Massachusetts.
He was found in Fall River. ICE Boston also arrested Alexandre Romao De Oliveira, another Brazilian national, in Methuen just weeks earlier [2]. De Oliveira had received a 14-year sentence for child rape in Brazil before leaving the country [2].
Acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde of ERO Boston stated, “Alexandre Romao De Oliveira is a convicted child rapist who fled his home country to evade justice” [2]. Such international criminals see America as a safe place because sanctuary policies protect them from deportation. (Hausman, 2020)
Andre Tiago Lucas, a Brazilian national convicted of child rape, was found working at a Massachusetts daycare while avoiding a nine-year prison term in Brazil [2].
Brazilian fugitives keep appearing. ERO Boston caught another one who refused to serve time after an October 31, 2023, rape conviction [3]. He faces over 10 years in prison upon return to Brazil [3]. Until his July 31 arrest, this criminal lived freely in Fall River [3].
Lam was convicted of murder, armed robbery, and assault. He was later paroled and released into the community, as documented in official records and local reports.
Oeun Lam’s case proves equally troubling. This Cambodian national’s violent history should have kept him locked up or deported. Instead, he roamed free until ICE intervened. (Cambodian national released on parole in Massachusetts after murder conviction arrested by ICE, 2025)
Lam, aged 18, and an accomplice broke into the Nhor family home in Lynn on February 3, 1991 [2]. They wore masks and carried guns. The house held Soth Nhor (46), Cheang Ley Nhor (41), and their six children [2]. The criminals attempted robbery [2].
A struggle broke out when Mr. Nhor defended his daughter [2]. Someone fired a shot that wounded Mr. Nhor and killed Mrs. Nhor [2]. Six children lost their mother that day.
Essex Superior Court found Lam guilty of murder in the first degree on May 13, 1993, giving him life without parole [2]. The jury also convicted him of two counts of robbery and one count of armed assault in a dwelling [2]. He received another life sentence to run concurrently [2].
The Massachusetts courts later changed his sentence. The Supreme Judicial Court’s ruling in Commonwealth v. Mattis [2] made Lam eligible for parole. The court decided that life sentences without parole for offenders aged 18-20 violated the Constitution [2]. His first-degree murder conviction was changed to life with parole possibility after 15 years [2].
Similar cases keep emerging. (Operation Patriot Results in Numerous Arrests of Criminal Illegal Aliens with Detainers that Were Ignored Due to Sanctuary Policies, 2025) Savin Seng, another Cambodian criminal illegal alien, faces charges for murdering a woman in Victoria, Texas, and killing a man outside a North Hills strip club in California [2].
Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin remarked, “Savin Seng’s multiple victims across California and Texas should be alive today—but this depraved criminal, illegal alien, and Asian Boys gang member savagely took their lives” [2].
ICE’s recent arrests show this pattern nationwide. (100 Days: Protecting America from the Worst First, 2025) Their latest operation caught child pornographers, MS-13 gang members, and murderers [3]. The arrests included Francisco Luna-Tristan (convicted of indecency with a child sexual contact in Texas), Hsa Mu Na (convicted of producing, distributing, and possessing child pornography), and David Diaz-Alvarado (an MS-13 member convicted of murder in aid of racketeering) [3].
Criminal activity persists throughout Massachusetts. (Massachusetts Crime Statistics, 2024) ICE captured several dangerous offenders, including a 29-year-old Brazilian charged in Edgartown with aggravated rape of a child by force, possession of child pornography, and dissemination of obscene material [4].
They also arrested a 48-year-old Salvadoran whose record includes aggravated rape of a child by force, indecent assault and battery on a person under 14, and open and gross lewdness [4].
Tom Homan counted “9 child rapists that were in jail in Massachusetts” who walked free before ICE caught them [4]. Each case represents a potential danger in our neighborhoods. (ICE Arrests Gang Members, Drug Traffickers, Violent Criminal Illegal Aliens in Sanctuary State Massachusetts, 2025)
III. Democrat Treason: Sanctuary Insanity Shields Criminals
Image Source: Next City
Critics argue that Massachusetts’s sanctuary policies shelter individuals with criminal records at the taxpayers’ expense. These policies can hinder federal law enforcement efforts to remove individuals convicted of serious crimes.
Some have criticized Massachusetts politicians for prioritizing the protection of undocumented immigrants over public safety, referencing ICE’s concerns about the impact of these policies and the large number of arrests.
Massachusetts lawmakers brag about “protecting immigrant communities” at the cost of your safety. Sanctuary policies in MA and other Democrat-controlled states like New York, Illinois, and California block cooperation between local law enforcement and ICE. This creates safe havens for foreign predators. (Cambridge doubles down on sanctuary city policy, 2025)
Raw numbers tell a scary story. Since January 2021, sanctuary jurisdictions have released more than 22,000 jailed criminal aliens that ICE wanted to deport [5]. These criminals include murderers, child rapists, and armed robbers. Massachusetts ranks among the worst states, joining Illinois, Virginia, Connecticut, and California that let these criminals loose in American neighborhoods. (Vaughan, 2025)
What’s worse? A 2015 ICE report revealed that 23 percent of criminal aliens freed by sanctuaries committed new crimes within eight months [5]. This means thousands of crimes against Americans could have been prevented – each one stems from Democrat sanctuary policies. (Operation Patriot Results in Numerous Arrests of Criminal Illegal Aliens with Detainers that Were Ignored Due to Sanctuary Policies, 2025)
New York shows us what Massachusetts does. That state’s refusal to honor ICE detainers led to 6,947 criminal illegal aliens walking free since January 20 [2]. Their crimes include:
- 29 homicides
- 2,509 assaults
- 199 burglaries
- 305 robberies
- 392 dangerous drugs offenses
- 300 weapons offenses
- 207 sexual predatory offenses [2]
Right now, 7,113 aliens sit in New York custody with active detainers [2]. These include 148 homicides, 717 assaults, 134 burglaries, 106 robberies, 235 dangerous drugs offenses, 152 weapons offenses, and 260 sexual predatory offenses [2]. Each one could target YOUR family next. (Massachusetts Immigration and Refugee Advocacy Coalition (MIRA), 2021)
“Attorney General James and her fellow New York Sanctuary politicians are releasing murderers, terrorists, and sexual predators back into our neighborhoods and putting American lives at risk,” Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated [2]. Massachusetts follows the same pattern.
Massachusetts politicians state that sanctuary policies are intended to make communities safer. However, opponents argue that these policies may allow individuals with criminal records to remain in the community.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer’s report exposes the liberal lies: “Let’s be clear: these policies only create sanctuaries for criminals. Sanctuary policies violate federal immigration law by protecting criminal aliens at the expense of the American people” [6].
Officials in Massachusetts, along with those in Chicago, Denver, and New York, have stopped local law enforcement from working with ICE [6]. This forces ICE officers into dangerous street operations instead of safely taking custody of criminals already in jail. However, there are successful examples of local law enforcement agencies and ICE implementing cooperative models, sharing data responsibly to enhance community safety. Such partnerships can lead to more efficient handling of offenders without compromising public trust. Highlighting these collaboration efforts provides a roadmap for transforming conflict into constructive action and community confidence.
“Sanctuary cities make us all less safe and are a public safety nightmare,” Comer states [6]. Numbers don’t lie. During a recent period, 72 criminal aliens with homicide convictions or charges walked free [3]. Illinois River Corrections Center and Santa Clara County jails each released six convicted killers [3].
The real numbers are nowhere near what’s reported, as sanctuary jurisdictions hide their involvement in these crimes. According to ICE records, between October 1, 2022, and February 6, 2025, sanctuary jails declined more than 25,000 detainers and failed to notify ICE 1,400 times of taking custody [3].
Massachusetts liberals push false stories that sanctuary policies don’t harm public safety. Whatever their propaganda says, American communities bleed. Here are three criminals New York released instead of giving to ICE:
Steven Daniel Henriquez Galicia was caught for attempted murder and criminal weapon possession. Despite ICE’s request, he stayed free until ICE found him in the Bronx [2].
Anderson Smith Satuye-Martinez, a Crips gang member, was arrested for weapon possession and drugs. Local authorities ignored ICE’s detainer and set him free [2].
Jose David Hernandez-Hernandez was arrested for rape, strangulation, and assault. Local sanctuary authorities let him go despite ICE’s request [2].
“Sanctuary policies that release criminal illegal aliens back onto the streets of New York put American lives at risk,” the Department of Homeland Security warns [2]. Similar tragedies happen daily in Massachusetts. (ICE Arrests Gang Members, Drug Traffickers, Violent Criminal Illegal Aliens in Sanctuary State Massachusetts, 2025)
ICE officers continue their work despite policy challenges. During “Operation Angel’s Honor,” a 14-day nationwide effort, ICE arrested more than 1,000 individuals with criminal records [7].
“But despite this law, sanctuary jurisdictions refuse to turn over criminal illegal aliens into ICE custody, forcing our officers to risk their lives to hunt them down, re-arrest them and remove them from the United States,” ICE reports [7].
Massachusetts and other sanctuary states require ICE to locate and arrest individuals in the community rather than transferring them directly from local custody, which can increase risks for both officers and the public. (Foley, 2025)
ICE’s message stays firm: “ICE’s mission is to ensure that no more Americans will fall victim to illegal alien crime” [7]. Massachusetts’ Democrat sanctuary politicians made their choice clear – they protect foreign predators over American lives.
IV. ICE Heroes Rising: Fighting Back for Our Nation

ICE officers work daily in New England to locate and arrest individuals with serious criminal records. Their efforts continue despite challenges posed by sanctuary policies. (ICE, federal partners arrest nearly 1,500 illegal aliens in Massachusetts during immigration enforcement operation, 2025)
Praise ERO Boston’s relentless hunt – “Prioritizing public safety” against alien child predators! Shout out their vow to remove these threats from New England neighborhoods.
ICE officers and agents focus on public safety by identifying, arresting, and removing individuals with criminal records from communities [8]. Their mission is to protect residents, especially children, from threats. (Identify and Arrest | ICE, 2025)
Acting ERO Boston Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde made it clear after a recent operation: “The Commonwealth is a safer place for our residents to live and work because ICE and our federal law enforcement partners arrested hundreds of alien offenders and removed them from the streets of Massachusetts” [4].
ICE warriors targeted “the most dangerous alien offenders in some of the most crime-infested neighborhoods in and around Boston” during Operation Patriot [4]. Their non-stop offensive led to 370 arrests across the commonwealth [4]. Each arrest means another American child stays safe from harm.
ICE never stops protecting our most vulnerable citizens. After catching Guatemalan child predator Josue Santiago Perez Gomez, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New England Special Agent in Charge Michael J. Krol said, “HSI New England’s commitment to targeted enforcement that works to identify individuals seeking to cause harm to our communities, including and especially children” [9].
ICE’s focus on individuals convicted of child-related offenses serves as a warning to those who may seek to harm children. Recent arrests demonstrate the agency’s ongoing efforts.
- Dennis Costa, a Portuguese sex offender convicted of rape and abuse of a child and indecent assault and battery on a child under 14, was arrested at his Fall River residence [10]
- Guatemalan national Billy Erney Buitrago-Bustos, accused of “the most heinous and reprehensible of crimes,” according to Hyde [11]
- Ecuadorian criminal Gilberto Avila-Jara, charged with over 20 sex crimes against children [12]
“Children are the most precious and most vulnerable members of our communities, and we will do everything in our power to protect them from illegal sex offenders,” Hyde declared [12]. “ICE Boston remains committed to prioritizing public safety by arresting and removing alien sexual predators from New England” [12].
ICE targets individuals who have broken immigration laws and have been charged or convicted of serious crimes such as murder, drug trafficking, organized crime, and money laundering [4]. (Our Priorities, 2025)
Their improved enforcement operations led to the arrests of six foreign fugitives who face serious charges [4]. The team arrested 205 people with major criminal convictions or charges during a single operation [4].
FBI Boston acting Special Agent in Charge Kimberly Milka backed this America First approach: “Together, with our partners, we have identified and removed hundreds of illegal alien offenders from the Commonwealth, including murderers, gang members, child predators, and a possible associate of a suspected terrorist, and our work is not done” [1].
ICE’s Priority Enforcement Program (PEP) targets convicted criminals and others who pose a threat to public safety [13]. PEP helps ICE transfer removable individuals convicted of offenses listed under DHS civil immigration enforcement priorities [13].
“Safeguarding the integrity of the immigration and citizenship process is critical. We simply can’t permit violent and dangerous criminals to enter or remain in the United States under pretenses, with unknown allegiances and intentions. It’s a direct threat to public safety and our national security,” said Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Boston Division Jodi Cohen [4].
ICE Supervisory Detention and Deportation Officer Keone Feliciano embodies the warrior spirit behind this mission. This Navy veteran takes special pride when his team deports convicted sex offenders. He believes they pose a significant public risk even after serving their sentence [14].

V. The Bigger War: Stop the Illegal Alien Invasion NOW
Recent ICE arrests reveal a larger immigration crisis that challenges America’s sovereignty. ICE’s nationwide enforcement operations show results that require swift action to protect American families. (Office, n.d.)
The federal government works to address safety concerns in sanctuary cities. Statistics and similar operations show the scale of this challenge.
ICE conducted 149,070 total arrests nationwide in 2025. These numbers include 113,430 administrative arrests and 35,640 criminal arrests [15]. The numbers represent individuals who entered the country illegally. About 70% of all ICE arrests involve people who were convicted or charged with crimes in the United States [16]. To provide a balanced perspective, it’s essential to consider various studies examining the relationship between immigration and crime. Some peer-reviewed research suggests that immigrant communities might not substantially contribute to crime at higher rates than native populations. However, critics argue that focusing only on crime rates may overlook the broader impact of illegal immigration on public safety and system integrity. Therefore, while acknowledging these diverse data points, the specific threat posed by those involved in criminal activities within the immigrant population remains a significant focus of ICE’s enforcement efforts. (Comparing crime rates between undocumented immigrants, legal immigrants, and native-born US citizens in Texas, 2020)
The data paints a clear picture. ICE enforcement statistics reveal that arrested individuals had convictions in these categories:
- 1,734 driving under the influence cases [17]
- 704 assault, battery, and domestic violence crimes [17]
- 414 burglary, robbery, larceny, and theft offenses [17]
- 127 sexual offenses [17]
- 23 homicides and manslaughter cases [17]
Border Patrol agents apprehended 8,814 criminal aliens at our borders in the first 11 months of 2025 [17]. This situation persists despite ICE’s efforts to remove dangerous offenders.
Recent ICE arrests highlight ongoing concerns about individuals with serious criminal records living in the United States. The agency continues its efforts to address these issues, and public engagement remains vital in shaping policy and community safety.
Sanctuary jurisdictions create additional challenges for federal law enforcement. Recent reports show that sanctuary jails declined by more than 25,000 detainers. There were over 1,400 instances in which jails failed to notify ICE of their intent to take custody [18]. This lack of cooperation puts communities at risk.
The Department of Homeland Security has identified dozens of “sanctuary jurisdictions” across 37 states and Washington, D.C. that violate federal statutes [19]. These jurisdictions must face consequences for their actions.
ICE programs target convicted criminals and public safety threats [20]. Sanctuary jurisdictions have released more than 22,000 jailed criminal aliens since January 2021 [18]. This situation highlights the need for stronger border security and revised sanctuary policies.
ICE officers must now track and arrest criminals on the streets after local authorities refuse cooperation. Officers “risk their lives to hunt them down, re-arrest them and remove them from the United States” [18]. This puts federal officers in unnecessary danger.
President Trump’s January 2025 executive order acknowledged that “millions of illegal aliens crossed our borders” during the previous administration. Many presented “significant threats to national security and public safety, committing vile and heinous acts against innocent Americans” [21].
The evidence points to serious challenges in immigration enforcement affecting communities nationwide. Building adequate border security, revising sanctuary policies, and removing criminal aliens would help restore public safety. (Illegal immigration hit a record high of 14 million in the US in 2023, Pew report finds, 2025)
VI. Rally Cry: Wake Up & Fight for America First!
There is an ongoing debate about how best to address public safety concerns related to undocumented immigrants with criminal records. Many believe that policy changes are needed to protect communities better.
End with fire: Share this truth, tag patriots, vote for borders! “No mercy for invaders – protect OUR kids!” Hashtags galore for mega-shares. #AmericaFirst #DeportAllIllegals #ICEHeroes
The liberal media spreads lies, but many immigrant voters understand why we need immigration enforcement. 46% say current enforcement “is necessary” [22]. Sanctuary politicians put our communities at risk by refusing to cooperate with ICE.
The truth spreads fast! American opposition to mass deportation has decreased significantly. Only 53% now say the administration does “too much” on deportations – a massive drop from past years [6]. Hispanic Republicans also get it – 47% say the current administration should do more [6].
Readers who are concerned about these issues are encouraged to contact their elected representatives and participate in the policy process. Civic engagement can help shape future immigration and public safety policies.

Mainstream media focuses on immigration’s costs rather than its benefits [24]. Yet people see the truth. Nobody can deny the presence of criminal aliens or ignore ICE heroes’ bravery as they remove these monsters from our neighborhoods. (DHS Debunks Fake News Media Narratives from June, 2025)
Public pressure can influence elected officials to prioritize community safety. Setting measurable goals, such as reducing ICE detainer declines, can help track progress and inform future policy decisions. (Massachusetts Mayors and Officials Issue Statement on ICE Actions in Communities, 2025)
Key Takeaways
ICE’s December 2025 arrests in Massachusetts exposed critical flaws in sanctuary policies that endanger American communities by shielding dangerous criminal aliens from deportation.
• ICE arrested over 1,400 criminal aliens in Massachusetts, including Brazilian child rapists and Cambodian murderers exploiting sanctuary protections
• Sanctuary policies nationwide have released 22,000+ criminal aliens that ICE sought to deport, including murderers and child predators
• Massachusetts and other sanctuary states force ICE into dangerous street operations instead of safe jail transfers
• Criminal aliens arrested had convictions for 1,734 DUI cases, 704 assaults, 414 burglaries, and 127 sexual offenses nationwide
• ICE’s enforcement operations demonstrate the urgent need for enhanced border security and the elimination of sanctuary policies
The evidence reveals a systematic failure where local sanctuary policies actively obstruct federal immigration enforcement, creating safe havens for foreign criminals while putting American families at risk. (Hausman, 2020) ICE officers continue their mission to remove dangerous offenders despite political obstacles designed to protect criminal aliens over citizen safety.
