This press release by ICE was issued on June 22, 2026.
Among those arrested were gang members, murderers, child predators, rapists, arsonists, drug traffickers and foreign fugitives
HOUSTON, TX — ICE arrested 735 criminal illegal aliens in the Houston area in May who accounted for 1,711 criminal convictions, including 625 aliens who were convicted of at least one criminal offense that killed, harmed or otherwise put the lives of innocent Americans in danger. In total, approximately 1,182 (70%) of the criminal convictions were for violent crimes or offenses that endangered public safety and many of the other criminal convictions harmed American property interests.
Twenty-five of the aliens arrested were members or associates of some of the most brutal transnational and prison gangs in the world, including MS-13, Surenos 13, 18th Street, Tango Blast, Paisas, Chucos Tangos, Southwest Cholos, Brown and Proud, and La Primera.
“We’re releasing this data not because it stands out from any other month, but because this is a snapshot of who we’re arresting every single month, as a result of the reckless immigration policies enacted by prior administrations that allowed gang members, murderers, child rapists and other violent criminal illegal aliens to flood into the country unvetted,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations acting Field Office Director Gabriel Martinez. “The public needs to know that the aliens we’re targeting aren’t the harmless economic migrants that the mainstream media and elected officials try to portray. These are violent criminals who repeatedly violate our laws and there’s no doubt if we don’t arrest and deport them from the U.S., they will continue to commit crimes and more Americans will become victimized as a result.”
