More than 10,000 illegal immigrants — including suspected murderers, kidnappers, sexual predators and carjackers — have been arrested in Los Angeles since a federal crackdown was launched in June, the DHS said Thursday.
The operation is part of a calculated effort by the federal government to weed out “the worst of the worst” undocumented immigrants in cities across the country.
Over the past six months, ICE officials, along with DHS and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), have carried out thousands of such arrests in the midst of a surge in protests throughout the city.
“This success of this operation is in spite of violent rioters who assaulted our law enforcement, threw rocks and Molotov cocktails at them, and attempted to obstruct lawful arrests of criminal illegal aliens,” the DHS said.
Los Angeles, which operates as a sanctuary city under California law, has proposed measures in recent months to respond to the influx of ICE operations in the city — including legislation that would ban agents from wearing masks, a move aimed at preventing what critics say are “secret police” tactics.
“While ICE law enforcement officers face a 1,150% increase in assaults and an 8,000% increase in death threats, these Sanctuary politicians of Los Angeles County want to make it easier for violent political extremists to target our brave men and women,” DHS Assistant Secretary, Tricia McLaughlin, told The Post. --->READ MORE HERE

The database features 10,000 arrests including pedophiles, gang members and drug traffickers across all 50 states
The Department of Homeland Security on Monday announced the launch of a "Worst of the Worst" webpage, which displays information on criminal illegal immigrants arrested during the Trump administration’s enforcement campaign.
The page allows users to search hundreds of thousands of criminal illegal immigrants who have been arrested across all 50 states, the agency said. Many have criminal histories that include homicide, assault, rape, drug trafficking, child molestation, cruelty toward a child, battery, and armed robbery, among other crimes, a DHS news release states.
"While Americans across the country were enjoying their weekends and holiday shopping, ICE law enforcement was hard at work arresting pedophiles, gang members, and drug traffickers," said DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. "Today, we launched a ‘worst of the worst’ website so every American can see for themselves the criminal illegal aliens that we are arresting, what crimes they committed, and which communities we removed them from. This holiday season, make sure to thank law enforcement officers for all they do to make America safe again."
The new page will feature 10,000 arrests upon launch and will be updated by DHS.
"Under Secretary (Kristi) Noem's leadership, the hardworking men and women of DHS and ICE are fulfilling President Trump's promise and carrying out mass deportations - starting with the worst of the worst - including the illegal aliens you see here," the page states.
McLaughlin, as well as the Trump administration, has accused the media of "whitewashing" facts about the arrests of illegal immigrants with violent criminal histories and portraying them as victims of President Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign.
"As the media whitewashes the facts, day in and day out, our brave men and women of ICE risk their lives for the American people," McLaughlin said. "Americans don’t have to rely on the press for this information — with this transparent tool, they can see for themselves what public safety threats were lurking in their neighborhoods and communities." --->READ MORE HERE
