DHS officials, quoted in the piece, say these arrests removed &#8220;the worst of the worst&#8221; from communities and include named convicted offenders from Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala and elsewhere who were found guilty of crimes such as continuous sexual abuse, sexual exploitation of a minor, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/child-abusers-top-ices-list-of-worst-of-the-worst-illegal-aliens-12\/\" title=\"Child Abusers Top ...&#039;s ...

The article also highlights strong rhetoric from DHS &#8211; &#8220;If you come to our country illegally and break our laws, we will hunt you down, arrest you, and remove you&#8221; &#8211; and contrasts ICE actions with protests and criticism from activists and some media outlets.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>As the Minneapolis mob and their <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >fellow privileged leftists protest<\/a> and hold signs declaring, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/gallery\/2026\/jan\/15\/minneapolis-ice-renee-good-protests-in-photos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&ldquo;Renee Good, ICE Bad,&rdquo;<\/a> Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents continue to do the hard, thankless work of removing &ldquo;the worst of the worst&rdquo; criminal illegal immigrants from crime-battered communities across the country.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, the roundup included perps convicted of sexual abuse of children, sexual exploitation of a minor, and aggravated assault, according to the latest Department of Homeland Security report exclusively provided to The Federalist.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Yesterday, our law enforcement arrested&nbsp;monsters&nbsp;who&nbsp;sexually abused and raped children.
