Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have arrested several illegal aliens convicted of serious crimes, including murder, child sex crimes, and sexual abuse. The arrests occurred on the one-year anniversary of the reopening of ICE's Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) office, which helps Angel Families navigate their cases.

Why it matters

The arrests highlight the ongoing threat posed by illegal immigration and the importance of enforcing immigration laws to protect American citizens. The VOICE office was previously transformed under the Biden administration to aid illegal aliens rather than victims of illegal alien crime.

The details

Among those arrested were Luis Hernandez-Martinez of Mexico, convicted of murder in Texas; Alejandro Laguna-Hernandez of Mexico, convicted of attempted lewdness with a child in Nevada; Daniel Albert Urbina of Honduras, twice convicted of aggravated sexual battery and sexual penetration in Virginia; Alexander Garcia-Penate of Cuba, convicted of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in Pennsylvania; and Nilson Noel Granados-Trejo of El Salvador, convicted of assault in Maryland.

  • The arrests occurred on April 10, 2026, the one-year anniversary of the reopening of the VOICE office.
