It was a mandate from the Obama administration: We want as many violent illegal immigrants off the streets of America. The agency in charge of addressing illegal immigrants (ICE) responded by rounding up thousands of undocumented individuals who have violent pasts or criminal histories. Nationwide that number has climbed to more than 2900 people who have been deported. In the city of Houston the local ICE office reports 125 illegal immigrants who have either committed violent offenses or who have troublesome backgrounds have been plucked from the streets of Houston.
Examples of those arrested in Houston include:
- A 56-year-old man residing in Houston, Texas, from Mexico has a conviction for sexual assault of a child.
- A 39-year-old woman residing in Houston, Texas, from El Salvador, two convictions for felony assault.
- A 21-year-old man residing in Houston, Texas, from Honduras, was convicted of sexual assault on a child.
- A 24-year-old woman residing in Angleton, Texas, from Guatemala, two convictions for possessing marijuana; and tampering with physical evidence.
- A 19-year-old man residing in Navasota, Texas, from Mexico, convicted for possessing cocaine and criminal mischief.
- A 33-year-old man residing in Houston, Texas, from Honduras, was convicted of sexual assault with a child.
