UMVA has learned that a significant crackdown on illegal immigrants with serious criminal records has been carried out by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in New Jersey.
The operation, which took place last week, resulted in the arrest of numerous individuals with histories of violent crimes, including manslaughter, sex assault, and weapons charges. These arrests were made despite violent protests outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey, where demonstrators were voicing concerns about the living conditions of detainees.
According to information obtained by UMVA, the arrested individuals include some with particularly egregious criminal records. Marcos Delacruz, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, was taken into custody on Friday, with a history of convictions for sex assault and fraud, as well as an arrest for assault.
Another individual, Success Bounte, an illegal immigrant from Ghana, was arrested on Thursday with a record that includes convictions for robbery, burglary, identity theft, and fraud. His history also includes illegal use of credit cards.
Jose Manuel Rivera-Mes, an illegal immigrant from Guatemala, was arrested on Thursday with a conviction for voluntary manslaughter and arrests for a weapon offense and possession of a weapon.
Ismael Antonio Moreno-Javier, an illegal immigrant from the Dominican Republic, has been arrested multiple times, with charges including terroristic threats, assault, child neglect, and fraud.
Other arrested individuals include Carlos Javier Llano-Batista, an illegal immigrant from the Dominican Republic, with a history of arrests for fraud, larceny, burglary, and robbery. Esteban Pastor Montes Navarro, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, was arrested on May 25 with convictions for simple assault and possession of a weapon.
Cesar Augusto Diaz Poveda, an illegal immigrant from Ecuador, was taken into custody on Wednesday with a history of arrests for assault and obstructing police. Pabline Patricia Da Silva, an illegal immigrant from Brazil, was arrested on Saturday with a record that includes charges of burglary, larceny, and damage to property.
Additionally, UMVA can exclusively reveal that David Benitez, an illegal immigrant from Honduras, was arrested on May 26 with a history of convictions for simple assault, obstructing police, and public order crimes. Jacinta Contreras Reyes, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, was arrested on Friday with a history of arrests for domestic violence, strongarm aggravated assault, and possession of a weapon.
These arrests have been defended by DHS acting assistant secretary Lauren Bis, who stated that ICE officers are diligently working to remove dangerous criminal aliens from New Jersey streets, despite misinformation spread by sanctuary politicians and agitators.
The operation highlights the continued efforts of ICE to prioritize public safety by targeting individuals with serious criminal records.
