Congresswoman Tenney Commends the Arrest of 133 Illegal Aliens in Upstate New York
Washington, DC – Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-24) today commended the efforts of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and federal law enforcement partners in apprehending 133 illegal aliens across Western, Central, and Northern New York.
“President Trump and Border Czar Homan are prioritizing getting the worst of the worst out of our country, and that includes some of the illegal immigrants apprehended in the recent ICE operation in Upstate New York. Under the Biden administration, CBP and ICE were unable to carry out their mission as Sanctuary City Governors and Mayors illegally allowed dangerous criminals to roam free throughout our towns and cities. Now, under President Trump’s America First Agenda, these law enforcement officers are able to perform their critical national security mission, working diligently to make our country safer each and every day. Thank you to the courageous law enforcement officers for your dedication to public safety, and thank you to President Trump for upholding your commitment to getting these illegal immigrants out of our country,” said Congresswoman Tenney.
The criminals arrested during this operation include:
- A 49-year-old illegal alien from Trinidad and Tobago convicted of murder.
- A 66-year-old illegal alien from the Dominican Republic convicted of course of sexual conduct with a child.
- A 32-year-old illegal alien from El Salvador convicted of murder and gang assault.
- A 70-year-old illegal alien from the Dominican Republic convicted of manslaughter and criminal sale of controlled substance.
- A 50-year-old illegal alien from China convicted of assault.
