The Trump administration has arrested hundreds of criminal illegal aliens since kicking off the largest immigration enforcement operation ever deployed in Minneapolis — including monsters convicted of heinous crimes like murder, sodomy, and raping children.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials announced the latest round-up of what it called “the worst criminal offenders in the world” while blasting local officials for upholding policies that have made the Twin Cities a magnet for vicious predators.

“Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey are encouraging this behavior with their rhetoric of lawlessness, while their sanctuary policies continue to ensure that the worst of the worst criminal alien offenders flock to their state in a vain attempt to escape justice,” ICE wrote in a statement.
The agency — which sent over 2,000 officers to Minneapolis in the last week alone — also hit out at “violent rioters and agitators” for trying to protect such criminals by “interfering and obstructing” ICE operations.
Some of the “worst of the worst” criminal illegal aliens arrested by ICE during its current operation in the North Star State include:
- Sriudorn Phaivan, a Laotian national convicted of strongarm sodomy of a boy and strongarm sodomy of a girl, as well as another aggravated sex offense, nine counts of larceny, four counts of fraud and a spate of other burglary, drug and theft offenses;
- Tou Vang, a criminal illegal alien from Laos who has been convicted of sexual assault and sodomy of a girl under the age of 13 and procuring a child for prostitution;
- Chong Vue, also from Laos, with convictions for strongarm rape of a 12-year-old girl, kidnapping a child with intent to sexually assault her and vehicle theft;
- Gabriel Figueroa Gama, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico who was previously removed from the US in 2002 and later convicted of homicide, battery, assault and amphetamine possession;
- Abdirashid Adosh Elmi, a Somali national convicted of homicide;
- Abdirashid Mohamed Ahmed, a criminal illegal alien from Somalia convicted of two counts of negligent manslaughter with a vehicle, two counts of DUI, larceny and damage to property;
- Gilberto Salguero Landaverde, a Salvadoran national and illegal immigrant who has been convicted of homicide three times;
- Mariama Sia Kanu, of Sierra Leone, who has been convicted of two counts of homicide, four DUIs, three counts of larceny and burglary; and
- Thai Lor, a criminal illegal alien from Laos with a final order of removal from June 15, 2009, who has been convicted of two counts of homicide.
“Arresting and deporting these people is absolutely critical to national security. National Democrats are going to get our law enforcement killed if they don’t stop lying about this issue and the people working to keep us safe,” Vice President JD Vance said in a statement Saturday night.

Walz and Frey have been vocal opponents of ICE operations in the state, even when the offenders being rounded up have numerous convictions for horrific, violent crimes.
They’re also arresting Somali nationals who commit murder, billions of dollars in welfare fraud, and fund the Al-Shabaab terrorist group.
The anti-ICE mob isn’t interested in the facts. They are crisis actors for the Left. Violence and chaos are the methods.
ICE was working to arrest convicted pedophiles and murderers while Renee Good tried to run over one of the officers.
Every single tactic in response to law enforcement and ICE is organized by a well established and funded communist system. The financiers and top level organizers who fund and create these rent-a-mobs should be brought up on RICO charges.
Their goal is to destroy America and Western civilization. They should be purged from the country and the planet.
