WASHINGTON – The United States Department of Homeland Security released the following statement announcing that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested more than 100 gang members in less than a week, including members of gangs such as MS-13 and Tren de Aragua.
From October 4th to October 10th, ICE arrested 131 gang-affiliated individuals, including 129 arrests by ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations and two arrests by ICE Homeland Security Investigations. Among those arrested were 22 affiliates of MS-13 and 13 affiliates of TDA.
ICE stated that since the beginning of President Trump’s second term, ICE has made 12,018 gang-related administrative arrests. This includes 1,965 MS-13 affiliates and 1,553 TDA affiliates.
“In less than a week, the brave patriots of ICE have arrested more than 100 gang members across the country, including members of MS-13 and Tren de Aragua,”said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. “The best that America has to offer are on the frontlines every day to ensure that the worst of humanity cannot threaten or harm innocent Americans. Under President Trump’s leadership, we are smashing the gangs and cartels, making it impossible for them to do business in America, and removing their members from our country. Arresting and deporting illegal aliens, especially gang members, is how we make America safe again.”
