ICE's 'Worst of the Worst' has Pedophiles, Drug Dealers

In its latest round of arrests, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detained five illegal aliens whose convictions range from sexual assault of a child and felony assault to possession of fentanyl with intent to distribute, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

"With each arrest, ICE is getting pedophiles, drug dealers and violent criminals out of our country," DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin said in a release. "Nothing will deter ICE from fulfilling the President's mandate to arrest the worst of the worst from American communities."

"Our brave ICE law enforcement is facing a more than 1,000% increase in assaults against them as they carry out operations to make America safe again," McLaughlin added.

According to DHS, the "worst of the worst" apprehended across the country on Monday included:

• Carlos Salvador Chacon-Franco, a criminal illegal alien from Honduras: Convicted of sexual assault of a child in Smith County, Texas.
• Perez Benancio, a criminal illegal alien from the Dominican Republic: Convicted of possession with intent to distribute 40 grams or more of fentanyl in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
