During President’s Day weekend DHS/ICE ran a national operation targeting convicted child‑sex offenders, rapists and drug traffickers, arresting individuals such as Efren Guzman‑Lopez (Guatemala, Texas indecency with a child/child grooming), Javier Millan‑Salgado (Mexico, California lewd acts with a child under 14, registered sex offender), and Pedro Jucub (Missouri, sexual misconduct with a child under 15). DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said "nearly 70%" of ICE arrests are of noncitizens charged with or convicted of crimes in the United States, with the department branding the arrestees the "worst of the worst" and linking the operation’s publicity to the broader political fight over ICE tactics and masks.
