Today, some Democrats in Congress are planning to bring illegal aliens as guests to the State of the Union. Once again, they are putting illegal aliens above the safety of American citizens.

Yesterday alone our officers arrested pedophiles, rapists, and violent criminals from our communities. President Trump and Secretary Noem have made it abundantly clear: if you come to our country illegally and break our laws, we will find you, we will arrest you, and you will NEVER return.

Arrests include:
Isidro Arcenio Alvarado, a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador, convicted for naturalization fraud in the Eastern District of North Carolina. Image
Omar Gomez-Hinojosa, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, convicted for assault in Seattle, Washington. Image
