Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced a number of arrests made Friday by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota, including repeat child sex abusers, murderers, drunk drivers and violent assailants.
One of the criminal illegal immigrants, Aldrin Guerrero-Munoz, has been incarcerated on the taxpayer’s dime since 2004 with a 32-year prison sentence for the intentional murder of his 3-month-old son.
While incarcerated, Guerrero-Munoz was convicted of assaulting a fellow inmate at Stillwater Prison, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). ICE lodged a detainer and received custody of him Monday.

“Sanctuary politicians like [Minneapolis] Mayor Jacob Fray, who are refusing to work with ICE, are allowing criminals like Aldrin Guerrero-Munoz to live in our communities, unchecked,” Noem wrote in a statement. “Under the leadership of President [Donald] Trump, ICE is no longer allowing the guise of moral superiority and political correctness to supersede the safety and security of Americans.”
Noem said 70% of ICE arrests are of illegal immigrants convicted or charged with a crime in the U.S.
“This statistic doesn’t even include foreign fugitives, illegal aliens convicted of crimes in other countries, gang members and suspected terrorists,” she added.
