The Department of Homeland Security on Monday revealed that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) last week had deported a litany of illegal alien gang members from multiple criminal organizations.

Under the Trump administration, ICE and DHS have pursued a mass deportation campaign to make good on the president's campaign pledge to deport as many as 20 million illegal aliens. DHS has prioritized the "worst of the worst" aliens with criminal records in that endeavor.

The roundup comes as ICE detentions reached a new monthly high of 46,000 in June alone.

“Every day, the brave men and women of ICE are arresting and removing dangerous criminal illegal aliens, including gang members, from our country,” a DHS spokesperson said. “Last week alone, ICE deported murderers, sexual assailants, burglars, and drunk drivers. Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, the safety of the American people will always come first. It’s no wonder crime rates have reached record lows, including the murder rate projected to fall to a 126-year low!”

Topping the latest roundup was Josue Isaias Cruz Ruiz of El Salvador, a member of the 18th Street gang previously convicted of homicide.

Ermis Francisco Orellana Rivas of El Salvador is a member of the MS-13 gang and was previously convicted for sexual assault and burglary.

Pablo Othoniel Lopez Sarricolea of Mexico is a member of the Paisas gang and was previously convicted of assault, DUI, resisting an officer, and illegal re-entry.

Erick Palacios Martinez of El Salvador is a member of the La Mirada Locos gang member and was previously convicted for robbery, damaging property, and trespassing.

Nicolas Guzman Hernandez of Mexico is a member of the Surenos gang and was previously convicted for felony assault.
