  • Officials reported 32 arrested were child sex offenders, nine had homicide convictions, 16 were gang members, and one hijacked an airplane, while ICE director Gabriel Martinez emphasized relentless efforts to restore public safety.
  • These removals aim to protect communities by removing dangerous criminal aliens and bolster the nation’s immigration system integrity across Houston and Southeast Texas.
