Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, we will not allow criminal illegal aliens to rape and sexually abuse children
WASHINGTON – Today, the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents arrested three criminal illegal aliens convicted of sex crimes against children in Minnesota in one day.
“In one day, ICE law enforcement arrested THREE CONVICTED CHILD PREDATORS in Minnesota,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “These sickos can no longer prey on innocent children. No one should want these dirtbags in their communities. President Trump and Secretary Mullin are putting the safety of children first.”

HSI special agents arrested Rene Rosario-Miranda, a criminal illegal alien from Guatemala convicted of third-degree aggravated sexual abuse of a minor, in Worthington, Minnesota.

HSI agents additionally arrested Rene Flores-Lue in Luverne, Minnesota. Flores-Lue, a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador, is a convicted rapist of a 5-year-old.
