Here Are The ‘Monsters’ ICE Nabbed On The Final Day Of The Government Shutdown

On the final day of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) continued to arrest the “worst of the worst,” the Department of Homeland Security told The Daily Wire. 

Those arrested on Wednesday included men convicted of assault and other sexual offenses. ICE agents went without pay throughout the 43-day shutdown and continued to make arrests and carry out enforcement operations. 

“Thank you to every DHS team member for your dedication and resilience throughout the Democrats’ Shutdown — 43 days without pay for many of you — a hardship on your families. Your continued work and dedication to protecting our homeland are a testament to your patriotism,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said.  “You made America safer during the longest shutdown in American history.”

According to DHS, those arrested on Wednesday included: 

• Jesser M Sandoval-Cruz, an illegal alien from Honduras, convicted of assault family/household member. 
• Felipe Antonio Ramon-Ramon, an illegal alien from Ecuador, convicted of possessing sexual performance by a child and use of a child less than 17 years of age in a sexual performance in Poughkeepsie, New York.  
• Victor Manuel Mendoza-Garcia, an illegal alien from Mexico, convicted on three counts of aggravated kidnapping/ransom in Cook County, Illinois.  
• William Giovanni Lopez-Fuentes, an illegal alien from Guatemala, convicted of assault of a child in Sunbury, Pennsylvania.  
• Hoang Huy Lu, an illegal alien from Vietnam, convicted of distribution of a controlled substance and dangerous drugs in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

“Thanks to law enforcement for their hard work during the government shutdown these monsters–including pedophiles, kidnappers, and drug traffickers–are out of our communities,” Noem said. “Thanks to President Trump, our government is open. Together, we will continue to deliver on our promise to the American people: securing our homeland.”

ICE agents and other federal workers will again receive pay after eight Senate Democrats joined with Republicans to pass a bill that keeps the government funded until January 30. That came after a 43-day standoff where Democrats demanded that the funding package include new funding for Obamacare subsidies.
