<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Americans can be thankful to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for continuing to arrest illegal aliens with serious criminal records over the Thanksgiving weekend, the Trump administration said Monday.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Arrests on Saturday and Sunday included illegals who have murder, sex crimes against children, burglary, and assault convictions, the Department of Homeland Security told The Daily Wire. The arrests come as legacy media outlets have <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-detainee-data-fastest-growing-without-criminal-records-trump/">asserted</a> that the number of “non-criminal” ICE detainees has “surged” under Trump and <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/26/immigrants-criminal-record-ice-detention">that</a> “immigrants with no criminal record” are the most common currently in federal custody.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“While Americans enjoyed a long holiday weekend with their families and friends, ICE law enforcement was hard at work arresting rapists, child sex abusers, and murderers,” a DHS spokesman told The Daily Wire. “Every American should be grateful to our law enforcement officers for putting their lives on the line each and every day to remove the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The spokesman added that over 70% of illegals arrested by ICE have either been charged or convicted of a crime.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Despite what the media and sanctuary politicians claim, 70% of ICE arrests are of criminal illegal aliens convicted or charged with a crime in the U.S.,” the spokesman said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to DHS, those arrested over the weekend included:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mario Ynfante-Querol, an illegal alien from Cuba convicted in Wyoming, Michigan, of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct on a victim between 13 and 15</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wilson Gonzalez-Bravo, an illegal alien from Mexico convicted of indecent liberties with a child in Chatham County, North Carolina</span></li>
<li>Balbir Singh, an illegal alien from India convicted of murder in Los Angeles, California</li>
<li>Jose Antonio Reyes-Morales, an illegal alien from Mexico convicted of reckless death by auto or vessel (vehicular homicide) in Union County, New Jersey</li>
<li>Phomma Phommachak, an illegal alien from Laos convicted of aggravated rape in Nashville, Tennessee</li>

<li>Edwin Rafael Marcano-Marquez, an illegal alien from Venezuela convicted of fourth-degree assault in Washington County, Oregon</li>
<li>Genaro Diaz-Ruiz, an illegal alien from Mexico convicted of aggravated assault-family-strongarm in Wilson County, Tennessee</li>
<li>Franklin Urquiola-Serrano, an illegal alien from Venezuela convicted of assault causing bodily injury to a family member in Georgetown, Texas</li>
<li>Manuel Leonel Palma-Hernandez, an illegal alien from Guatemala convicted of aggravated arson — purposely destroyed structure in Trenton, New Jersey</li>
<li>Cuello Garcia-Alliant, an illegal alien from Cuba convicted of assault and cocaine possession in Miami-Dade County, Florida</li>
<li>Graviel Lopez-Castillo, an illegal alien from Mexico convicted of possession with intent to deliver cocaine in New Castle County, Delaware</li>
<li>Svetlana Tillett, an illegal alien from Russia convicted of felony embezzlement in Dare County, North Carolina</li>
<li>Elmer Amilcar Lopez-Jimenez, an illegal alien from Guatemala convicted of first-degree burglary in Carson, California</li>
<li>Gregory Ricordo Davidson, an illegal alien from Jamaica, convicted of burglary in New York, New York</li>
</ul>
<p>Last week, President Donald Trump announced that he would crack down on migration into the United States, saying that he would put a pause on asylum claims from countries like Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela.</p>
