Even as violent protesters swarmed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, attacking federal agents and their vehicles with bricks and other projectiles, the ICE agents were able to successfully detain and even begin to deport a number of the dangerous criminal aliens who were the targets of raids throughout the Los Angeles area.

Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin reported late Saturday on several who had already been arrested by ICE agents, laying out a list of criminal aliens that included sex offenders, gang members, and others who had been convicted on gun and drug charges.

“BREAKING: Federal sources ID some of the criminal illegal alien targets ICE arrested in their LA operation yesterday & today, which sparked violent protests,” Melugin posted via X. “They include multiple gang members, convicted sex offenders, violent gun offenders, & drug offenders. One has already been deported.”

“They include: Rolando Veneracion-Enriquez, a national of the Philippines who has prior convictions for sexual penetration with a foreign object, assault with intent to commit rape, and burglary, all in California. ARMANDO ORDAZ, a Mexican national & known gang member with a convictions for sexual battery, receiving stolen property, and theft in Los Angeles. VICTOR MENDOZA-AGUILAR, a previously deported Mexican national & known gang member with convictions for assault with a deadly weapon, and possessing drug paraphernalia. DELFINO AGUILAR MARTINEZ, a Mexican national with a conviction for assault with a deadly weapon causing great bodily injury in LA.”

“MORE: Jesus Alan HERNANDEZ-Morales, a Mexican national & aggravated felon with prior conviction for conspiracy to transport an illegal alien. He was deported today. Jose Gregorio MEDRANDA Ortiz, an Ecuadorean national with convictions for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute 5 kilos of cocaine on a vessel in Florida. Lionel SANCHEZ-Laguna, a Mexican national with convictions for firing a gun at an occupied dwelling in OC, battery on spouse, willful child cruelty in OC, DUI in OC, and assault with firearm in OC. He has had a deportation order since 2020,” he added.

The clashes between protesters and ICE agents got so chaotic that President Donald Trump invoked the Insurrection Act of 1807, deploying National Guard troops to assist in keeping order. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth supported the move, and said that he had active-duty U.S. Marines at nearby Camp Pendleton on standby in case they were needed to step in as well.
