WASHINGTON—The Department of Homeland Security is renewing its calls for Americans to join ICE following the arrest of more criminal illegal aliens, including murderers, sexual predators, and pedophiles, The Daily Wire can first report.
Among those arrested Monday were Israel Cobian-Sandoval, convicted of homicide in Chicago; Rey Bautista-Osorio, convicted of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to ill/cause serious injury in North Carolina; Edgar Allan Becerril, convicted of aggravated assault of a child and six counts of sexual assault of a child in Texas; Kevin Sosa-Ayala, convicted of statutory rape in Tennessee; and Simon Torres-De Leon, convicted of rape in Ohio.
“Murderers. Pedophiles. Rapists. These are the dirtbags ICE is arresting and removing from our country,” Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin told The Daily Wire. “We are delivering on President Trump’s promise to remove the worst of the worst. Serve your country today by signing up to join ICE and help us get these dirtbags out of our country.”
Edgar Allan Becerril, convicted of aggravated assault of a child and sexual assault of a child (six counts) in Guadalupe County, TX.
Rey Bautista-Osorio, convicted of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill/cause serious injury in Wilson County, NC.
All the criminal illegal aliens arrested this week are from Mexico, DHS told The Daily Wire, except for Sosa-Ayala, who is from Honduras.
In the wake of these arrests, DHS urged “patriotic Americans” to join ICE and help to “remove more of these barbaric criminals.” The agency is recruiting ICE agents through messaging that mirrors that of military recruitments in the past, featuring a photo of a stern-looking Uncle Sam looking the viewer in the eye and telling them: “America needs YOU!”
“America has been invaded by criminals and predators,” the ICE recruiting website says. “We need YOU to get them out.”
Many top Trump administration officials have promoted the ICE recruiting information, notably the president’s Deputy Chief of Staff for policy, Stephen Miller. The messaging is designed to appeal to Americans of all backgrounds, with lines like: “Serve your country! Defend your culture! No undergraduate degree required!”

ICE promises that those who join may be entitled to up to a $50,000 signing bonus, $60,000 student loan repayment, 25% premium pay, and more. The agency is looking for deportation officers, criminal investigators, general attorneys, and more.
“ICE is looking for individuals with integrity and courage,” the recruitment website states. “ICE is interested in hiring law enforcement personnel who aspire to the highest standards of performance, professionalism, and leadership. Deportation officers and special agents must be in excellent physical condition, able to tolerate environmental stresses and have strong critical thinking skills.”
“ICE employees should be committed to its mission to protect America from cross-border crime and illegal immigration that threaten national security and public safety.”
