U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested several illegal immigrants convicted of heinous crimes in a nationwide operation. Among those captured was Jose Solorzano-Felix, a Mexican national, who was apprehended in Salt Lake City, Utah, for attempted murder of a federal law enforcement officer and other crimes.

Other arrested individuals included Paulino Lugos-Perez, a Mexican national, who was convicted of lewd or lascivious acts with a child in Santa Clara, California, and Adrian Valdez-Lopez, a Mexican national, who was convicted of second-degree forcible rape in Forsyth County, North Carolina.
The crackdown also targeted violent gang affiliates, resulting in the arrest of Edgar Josue Centeno, a Honduran national and member of the Latin Kings gang, who was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon in Pasadena, California.
According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), nearly 70% of ICE arrests are of illegal immigrants who have already been charged or convicted of a crime in the U.S.
