A chilling list recently released reveals the alleged crimes of individuals identified as being in the country without legal authorization, apprehended in the state of Minnesota. The offenses, described as the “worst of the worst,” include horrific acts of violence and sexual abuse, painting a disturbing picture of potential danger within communities.
Among those arrested are individuals accused of unspeakable crimes against children. Sriudorn Phaivan, originally from Laos, faces convictions for multiple counts of sodomy and sexual offenses against minors, alongside a litany of other charges including theft and fraud. He had been under a deportation order since 2018, yet remained free.
The list continues with equally harrowing cases. Tou Vang, also from Laos, was convicted of sexual assault and procuring a child for prostitution, with a deportation order dating back to 2006. Chong Vue stands accused of raping a 12-year-old girl and kidnapping her with intent to sexually assault her, having a deportation order since 2004.
Beyond sexual offenses, the arrests include individuals charged with multiple counts of homicide. Gilberto Salguero Landaverde, from El Salvador, faces three homicide convictions and has had a deportation order since June 2025. Others, like Mariana Sia Kanu from Sierra Leone, were convicted of two counts of homicide and had a deportation order since 2022.
The details reveal a pattern of long-standing deportation orders – some dating back decades – that were not enforced. Individuals like Kou Lor, convicted of rape and sexual assault, had a deportation order as far back as 1996. This raises questions about the effectiveness of existing systems and the potential risks to public safety.
Several arrests involved individuals with prior criminal histories and previous deportations. Gabriel Figueroa Gama, a Mexican national, was previously deported in 2002, only to be arrested again on homicide charges. This highlights the challenges of preventing re-entry and the potential for repeat offenses.
The arrests also encompass a range of other violent crimes, including aggravated assault, strangulation, and manslaughter. Ge Yang, from Laos, was convicted of strong-arm rape and aggravated assault with a weapon. Abdirashid Mohamed Ahmed, from Somalia, was convicted of manslaughter, with a deportation order since 2022.
Authorities emphasize that these arrests are focused on removing the most dangerous individuals from the streets. The intent, they state, is to prevent further victimization and enhance community safety, despite what they describe as political interference and attempts to downplay the severity of the crimes.
The cases underscore the complex realities surrounding immigration and public safety. The sheer number of individuals with long-standing deportation orders raises critical questions about enforcement, resources, and the potential consequences of delayed action.
The list serves as a stark reminder of the alleged crimes committed and the potential dangers that can exist within communities. It highlights the difficult choices and ongoing debates surrounding immigration policy and the protection of citizens.
