Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested multiple illegal aliens in deep-blue “sanctuary cities” across the United States over Memorial Day weekend.
ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers led sweeping arrests in Boston, Denver, Houston, Newark, New York City, Salt Lake City, and San Francisco.
In an announcement from ICE, the federal agency revealed that most of the arrests happened on Saturday.
Those arrested were violent gang members and criminal illegal aliens who were wanted by ICE for some time.
Kevin Estuarde Hernandez, 18, of Guatemala, was arrested by ERO Boston along with other federal agencies.
Hernandez was in the U.S. illegally, without admission or parole.
He is a suspected 18th Street gang member.
Local police in Everett, Massachusetts, say the dangerous alien was involved in a shooting between the 18th Street gang and its rival, MS-13.
ERO Denver arrested Jose Antonio Deras, 45, of El Salvador.
Deras, who is in the U.S. illegally and was denied temporary protected status in 2008, was ordered removed by a judge in 2009.
However, he failed to leave the country and continued to commit horrific crimes on U.S. soil.
He has multiple traffic convictions and has pending charges for felony sexual assault on a child, according to ICE.
Misael Delgado-Carlos, 35, of Mexico, was arrested by ERO Houston.
She was previously deported from the U.S. before reentering illegally.
Delgado-Carlos also has a criminal conviction for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in Harris County, Texas.
However, she was sentenced to a four-year deferred adjudication and walked free, only to violate the terms and escape recapture.
Eduardo Sanchez-Hernandez, 32, of Mexico, was arrested by Newark ERO with help from Homeland Security Investigations Newark.
Sanchez-Hernandez entered the U.S. without authorization.
He has a criminal history that ICE says indicates an arrest and pending disposition on charges of sexual assault of a victim under the age of 13, endangering a child, and sexual conduct with a minor.
ERO New York City arrested Litzy Janel Saavedra, 26, of Mexico, who was served a Notice to Appear.
Saavedra, who is in the U.S. illegally, has a criminal history that includes a 2022 conviction for third-degree felony rape in Yonkers, New York.
Jose Barrios-Bello, 35, of Mexico, was arrested by ERO Salt Lake City after he was previously removed from the U.S. and reentered illegally.
He had been convicted of distribution of methamphetamine and sentenced to 15 years in prison.

The others will remain in custody pending removal proceedings.
