ICE just sent one bone chilling message to gang members that will have criminals running scared
President Donald Trump promised to crack down on criminal illegal aliens who terrorize American communities.
His administration is delivering on that promise in a big way.
And ICE just sent one bone-chilling message to gang members that will have criminals running scared.
Trump unleashes ICE against dangerous criminals
Immigration and Customs Enforcement has dramatically escalated enforcement operations under President Trump’s leadership.
The approach represents a complete reversal from the Biden administration’s catch-and-release policies that allowed dangerous criminals to roam free in American communities.
Secretary Kristi Noem has made it clear that ICE will prioritize removing the most dangerous criminal illegal aliens first.
The Trump administration is sending a clear signal to gang members and repeat offenders: your days of terrorizing American neighborhoods are numbered.
Recent ICE operations have targeted some of the most violent criminal organizations operating on American soil.
These include career criminals who have repeatedly violated our nation’s sovereignty by illegally crossing the border multiple times.
Some of these dangerous individuals have extensive criminal histories spanning drug trafficking, violent assaults, and weapons charges.
Despite being deported in the past, many continued to return and prey on innocent Americans.
Record-breaking enforcement numbers tell the story
The statistics paint a picture of an administration that’s serious about public safety.
Trump’s ICE has shattered previous enforcement records in ways that should terrify criminal organizations.
Within the first 100 days of Trump’s presidency, federal agents arrested more than 65,000 illegal aliens.
That massive sweep included nearly 2,300 gang members from some of the most ruthless criminal organizations in the world.
These aren’t just immigration violations – we’re talking about hardened criminals.
Over 1,300 of those arrested were accused or convicted of sex crimes against innocent victims.
Nearly 500 faced murder charges or convictions.
The scope of criminality among those targeted shows just how dangerous our communities had become under Biden’s failed policies.
To put these numbers in perspective, ICE made more arrests in Trump’s first 50 days than they did during the entire previous year under Biden.
That represents a complete transformation in how America approaches immigration enforcement.
Targeting the most dangerous gangs
The criminal organizations being dismantled represent some of the most violent threats to American communities.
Tren de Aragua has earned a reputation as one of the most brutal gangs operating internationally.
These Venezuelan criminals have spread their tentacles across American cities, bringing violence wherever they establish operations.
MS-13 has long terrorized suburban communities with their savage tactics and complete disregard for human life.
The 18th Street gang has been linked to countless acts of violence and drug trafficking operations.
Then there are prison gangs like Hermandad De Pistoleros that have expanded their criminal enterprises far beyond correctional facilities.
The Houston ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) staff announced the capture of Melquisede Hernandez De Nova in a Tuesday X post.
“ICE @EROHouston arrested Melquisede Hernandez De Nova, a criminal alien from Mexico & Hermandad De Pistoleros gang member, June 14. Hernandez has illegally entered the U.S. 5 times and been convicted 3x for drug offenses, 2x for DWI & illegal reentry, & 1x for obstructing police,” the post read.
The Department of Homeland Security quickly followed up with a post sharing the news as well.
“Under the leadership of President Trump and Secretary Noem, ICE is empowered to remove the WORST OF THE WORST from American communities. If you are here illegally and break the law, we will hunt you down, arrest you, and lock you up. That’s a promise,” the DHS wrote at the news of the alleged Hermandad De Pistoleros member.

Hermandad De Pistoleros, which translates to “Brotherhood of the Latin Gunman,” has grown into a sprawling criminal network.
Founded decades ago in Texas prisons, the group has evolved into a sophisticated operation involved in drug trafficking, kidnapping, and murder.
Federal authorities estimate the organization has thousands of members across multiple states.
Previous law enforcement operations have targeted dozens of different criminal organizations operating in American communities.
These range from local street gangs to international criminal syndicates that treat America like their personal playground.
The revolving door problem
What makes these cases particularly infuriating is how many involve repeat offenders.
Time and again, dangerous criminals were caught, deported, and then simply walked back across our porous border.
Some criminals have been removed from the United States five, six, or even more times.
Each time they return, they bring their criminal enterprises with them.
This revolving door of justice became the norm under Biden’s weak enforcement policies.
Criminal organizations learned they could treat American immigration law like a joke.
Even when caught red-handed committing serious crimes, many knew they’d be back on American streets within months.
That calculation has fundamentally changed under Trump’s leadership.
A new sheriff in town
President Trump and Secretary Noem have made it crystal clear that the days of weak enforcement are over.
ICE agents now have the full backing of the federal government to hunt down dangerous criminals.
No longer are agents forced to operate with one hand tied behind their backs.
The message to criminal organizations is simple and direct: we will find you, we will arrest you, and we will remove you.
More importantly, the consequences for returning illegally after deportation have become far more severe.
Criminals who previously treated deportation as a minor inconvenience now face serious federal charges.
The Trump administration has designated major criminal organizations as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.
This designation unlocks additional law enforcement tools and enhances penalties for those who support these groups.
Making America safe again
For too long, American families have been forced to live in fear of imported violence.
Apartment complexes have been taken over by foreign gang members.
Schools have become recruitment grounds for international criminal organizations.
Suburban neighborhoods that were once safe have been plagued by drug trafficking and violence.
The Biden administration’s response was to lecture Americans about tolerance and diversity.
Trump’s response is to remove the criminals and restore law and order.
The aggressive enforcement operations send a clear message to anyone thinking about exploiting America’s generosity.
If you come here illegally and commit crimes, you will face consequences.
Those consequences won’t be a slap on the wrist or a promise to appear in court.
You will be hunted down, arrested, and permanently removed from American soil.
The fight continues
While the progress has been dramatic, there’s still much work to be done.
Decades of weak enforcement allowed criminal organizations to establish deep roots in American communities.
Dismantling these networks will require sustained effort and unwavering commitment.
But the early results show that when America gets serious about enforcement, criminal organizations take notice.
Gang members who once operated with impunity are now looking over their shoulders.
Human traffickers who treated American cities like their personal ATM machines are finding their operations disrupted.
Drug dealers who poisoned American communities with fentanyl are being systematically removed.
The transformation didn’t happen by accident – it’s the direct result of political leadership that prioritizes American safety over political correctness.
President Trump promised to make America safe again, and his administration is delivering on that promise one arrest at a time.
