<p>President Donald Trump promised to carry out a historic mass deportation effort on the campaign trail and has since removed more than 670,000 illegal immigrants from the United States.</p>
<p>Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shared some of the bad hombres and their rap sheets with The Daily Wire. Here&#8217;s what we know about them.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, ICE shipped Mexican illegal immigrant Akira Salinas-Ruiz, who brutally shook his then-girlfriend&#8217;s 18-month-old baby to death in 2006, out of the country. The toddler, Santiago Teniente Jr., was left with fatal injuries that included abusive head trauma and bruises on his neck and stomach that were consistent with shaken baby syndrome.</p>
<p>Salinas-Ruiz was convicted of first-degree reckless homicide on July 11, 2007. He pleaded no contest to his charge and was sentenced to 20 years in a Wisconsin prison.</p>
<p>An immigration judge ordered Salinas-Ruiz&#8217;s deportation in 2008 while he was behind bars.</p>
<p>And on Feb. 17, ICE arrested Salinas-Ruiz after he was released from prison, and has since deported him.</p>
<p>Salinas-Ruiz was encountered at the border in 2002 and agreed to &#8220;voluntarily return&#8221; to Mexico, according to ICE.</p>
<p>ICE also deported Salvadoran national Ruben Alonso Hernandez-Lainez, 29, who was convicted of second-degree assault and second-degree rape in Frederick County, Maryland, ICE said.</p>
<p>He was arrested just before Maryland passed a law in early February that bars local and state police from communicating with ICE.</p>
<p>Hernandez snuck across the border in 2021 and was later caught by Border Patrol agents in May 2022 near Hidalgo, Texas. The agents were &#8220;forced to release him &#8230; thanks to the Biden administration’s catch-and-release policies&#8221; before he went on to assault and rape his victim, according to ICE.</p>
<p>Police in Maryland arrested Hernandez for his crimes on May 15, 2023. A judge handed him a conviction in February 2025, sentencing him to three years and four months behind bars with all but 18 months suspended. He was placed on five years of supervised probation.</p>
<p>An immigration judge ordered his deportation on Jan. 20, and he was removed from the country ten days later, ICE said.</p>

<p>ICE also deported a convicted killer tied to a murder case that went cold.</p>
<p>Jamaican illegal immigrant Kemar Hamilton, who was deported on Jan. 8, was convicted of the killing of 58-year-old Jamaican immigrant Edgar McCalla. Hamilton shot McCalla, who was the father of seven children, during a 2009 robbery outside of the victim&#8217;s Bronx home before fleeing the scene.</p>
<p>It was just one year after he crossed the border illegally.</p>
<p>While searching the murder scene, police found a prepaid cell phone left behind by the killer. The DNA from the phone, however, didn&#8217;t yield a match, and the case went cold.</p>
<p>Two years later, police arrested Hamilton after pulling him over for a traffic violation and finding a loaded firearm in his car. The officers then matched his DNA to the cold case.</p>
<p>By that time, he had already received a deportation order. He was sentenced to over a decade in prison and was scooped up by ICE on Oct. 6 as he was being released from prison in Alden, New York.</p>
<p>While Trump&#8217;s deportation numbers fall short of his past-stated goal of carrying out one million removals each year, more than 2 million illegal immigrants have &#8220;self-deported,&#8221; leaving on their own, according to ICE.</p>
<p>“Immigration enforcement plays a critical role in public safety,” Acting ICE Director Todd M. Lyons said in a statement.</p>
<p>“Criminal illegal aliens like these, who completely disregard our immigration laws and our criminal laws, don’t belong in the United States — and ICE is going to continue keeping our cities, communities and neighborhoods safe by arresting and removing them,&#8221; Lyons added.</p>
