Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, DHS is putting America FIRST

WASHINGTON –– Yesterday, U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) arrested criminal illegal aliens convicted for child cruelty with possible injury or death, battery against spouse, kidnapping, and other horrific crimes.
