U.S. Immigration and Enforcement (ICE) agents removed three illegal alien murderers off the nation’s streets on Thursday, as well as two other illegals convicted of heinous crimes.

The arrests added five more subjects to the Department of Homeland Security’s “Worst of the Worst” database, which has tracked the arrests of more than 40,000 illegal alien murderers, rapists, pedophiles, violent gangbangers and arsonists.

Yesterday’s arrests, provided exclusively to American Greatness, include:

Jose Avelar-Velasquez, a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador, convicted for murder in Riverhead, New York:

Noel Escarsega-Orquiz, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, convicted for second-degree murder in Minneapolis, Minnesota:

 

Abdoulaye Doucoure, a criminal illegal alien from Mali, convicted for third-degree murder in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania:

Jorge Emigdio Ortiz-Barrios, a criminal illegal alien from Guatemala, convicted for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute 400 grams or more of fentanyl in Cincinnati, Ohio:

Felico Cleare, a criminal illegal alien from the Bahamas, convicted for bringing aliens to the United States for private financial gain in the Southern District of Florida:

 

Immigration agents continue to carry out their law enforcement duties in blue sanctuary states and enclaves despite the left’s ongoing coordinated campaign of violent resistance against them.

According to DHS, immigration officers have experienced a 1,300+ percent increase in assaults against them, a 3,300 percent increase in vehicular attacks, and an 8,000 percent increase in death threats.

“Yesterday, ICE arrested murderers, drug dealers, and other dangerous public safety threats from our communities,” said Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin. “While sanctuary politicians refuse to cooperate with ICE, our brave men and women will continue to go after criminal illegal aliens to make America safe again. Under the strong leadership of President Donald J. Trump, we will always put the safety of the American people first.”

Over 985,000 illegal aliens have been deported since President Trump took office. An additional 2.2 million have self-deported, DHS confirmed to American Greatness earlier this month.

“In President Trump’s first year back in office, more than 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S. because of the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration including an estimated 2.2 million self-deportations,” a DHS spokesman said via email. “As of July 12, we have now deported over 985,000 illegal aliens and arrested over 1 million illegal aliens.”
