On Tuesday, April 14, 2026, ICE officers rolled out of their field offices, got into unmarked vehicles, and by the time they clocked out for dinner, five of the worst human beings walking free in this country were in federal custody. A child rapist from Guatemala. A kidnapper from El Salvador. A serial child predator from Honduras. A violent fugitive from Mexico wanted for attempted murder. And a man from Colombia with an outstanding warrant for sexually assaulting a twelve-year-old. All five, in the country illegally. All five, scooped up before lunch hit the floor of the break room microwave.
And somewhere in a glass studio in Atlanta, a CNN anchor is still workshopping a segment about how these officers are a threat to democracy.
You remember the rollout. You remember 2019 and 2020, when every single mainstream outlet in America decided in lockstep that ICE was the bad guy. “Jackbooted thugs” was the line. MSNBC ran it. CNN ran it. The New York Times ran the softer version, something about “an agency that has lost its moral compass.” Politicians from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Elizabeth Warren openly called to abolish the entire thing. Cory Booker said ICE was “terrorizing communities.” Kamala Harris, who was running for president at the time, said the agency needed to be “reimagined from the ground up.” We were told these officers were Nazis. We were told they were kidnapping children. We were told they were a stain on America.
Here is what the Nazis did on Tuesday, according to exclusive reporting from the Daily Signal.
Number one on the list. A 41-year-old Guatemalan national, arrested in Texas, with an active conviction for the sexual assault of a child under the age of ten. He had been deported once already. He came back. He was living in a suburb outside Houston, working under a fake name, when ICE Homeland Security Investigations tracked him through a cell phone tip and a school district records match. He is now in federal custody pending a re-deportation with criminal enhancement.
Number two. A 34-year-old Salvadoran citizen, arrested in Virginia, with an outstanding warrant from his home country for kidnapping a business owner and holding him for ransom. He entered the United States in 2022 through what DHS is now politely calling “the Biden parole surge.” He had been in this country for three years. He was applying for a driver’s license when ICE matched his fingerprints against an Interpol file.
Number three. A 52-year-old Honduran national, arrested in North Carolina, with a prior conviction in Honduras for the aggravated rape of a minor and a separate conviction in Florida, from 2019, for lewd and lascivious conduct with a child under twelve. He served three years. He was released. He was deported. He came back. He was living within one mile of an elementary school in a town of six thousand people. ICE got the tip from a neighbor. The neighbor is a hero.
Number four. A 29-year-old Mexican national, arrested in Arizona, wanted in his home country for attempted murder related to a cartel-adjacent shooting in 2023. He had been in the United States for eighteen months. He was working as a rideshare driver. We are going to repeat that. He was driving your neighbors around in his car, at night, while wanted for attempted murder in another country.
Number five. A 46-year-old Colombian national, arrested in New York City, with an outstanding warrant for the sexual assault of a twelve-year-old girl in Bogotá. He entered under the CBP One app. He was living in a Manhattan shelter funded by New York City taxpayers.
That’s the Tuesday. One day. Five mugshots. Zero should have ever been in this country. Every single one of them was walking free in an American neighborhood while CNN was running panel discussions about whether ICE was too aggressive.
Let’s rerun the tape, because this is important. These are not immigration offenders. These are not families seeking a better life. These are not the grandmothers the Washington Post loves to write profiles about. These are predators. Four of them have active warrants for crimes against children. One has an attempted murder rap. Every one of them made a choice to come to this country anyway, because they knew our system was broken, and because for four years straight, the people in charge of that system told them they were welcome.
And the officers who cleaned it up on Tuesday? The ones the media still refers to, in print, as a “controversial agency”? The ones AOC wanted to abolish? The ones Elizabeth Warren said needed to be “restructured”? They spent their afternoon arresting a child rapist in a Houston suburb, a kidnapper in a Virginia DMV, a pedophile within a mile of a North Carolina elementary school, an attempted murderer behind the wheel of an Arizona Uber, and a child predator inside a New York City shelter.
We will say it plainly. These officers are not thugs. They are not jackbooted anything. They are the only thing standing between your kids and the list we just walked through. They do a job that everyone else is too scared, too lazy, or too ideologically compromised to do. They take the hits. They take the bad press. They take the lawsuits, the protests, the abolish-ICE chants. And they keep showing up on Tuesday morning and doing the work anyway.
The media will never run these mugshots on their front pages. They will never lead a broadcast with these five names. They will keep running the sob-story pieces about tearful deportation scenes at the airport. They will keep pretending this is about compassion. They will keep calling Tom Homan a fascist.
But we see it. And on April 14, 2026, five communities across this country are safer tonight than they were yesterday morning. Not because a senator passed a bill. Not because a cable news host gave a monologue. Because five federal officers, in five unmarked vehicles, in five different states, showed up and did the job.
Thank you, ICE. Seriously. From all of us. Keep the Tuesdays coming.
