Federal immigration agents have nabbed more than 10,000 migrant gangbangers since the start of President Trump’s second term, the US Department of Homeland Security announced Wednesday. 

The milestone, reached just a year and a half after Trump launched his sweeping mass deportations agenda, includes arrests tied to murder, assault with a deadly weapon, drug trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, robbery and extortion, according to DHS.

“Many of these gang members were released into our country by Joe Biden,” said DHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin. “These vicious criminals murdered, assaulted, robbed, and terrorized innocent Americans for sport.” 

“Thanks to the Secure America Act, ICE is turbocharged to arrest even more gang members and criminals from American neighborhoods,” Mullin added, referring to the $70 billion immigration enforcement funding package passed by Congress earlier this month. 

The agency’s 10,000th arrest came when US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents collared Javier Hernandez Rosas, an illegal migrant from Mexico and an alleged member of the terrorist organization MS-13, whose rap sheet included a cocaine possession conviction and arrests for abduction and weapon possession. 

Among the other most dangerous gang members swept up under the Trump administration were seven additional MS-13 affiliates – including Salvadorian migrant Josue Saul Garcia-Lopez, who was nabbed in Harrisonburg, Virginia, last month. 

Garcia-Lopez was wanted internationally for his role in extortion and robbery schemes in El Salvador, and had been arrested previously for unlawful firearms possession and disorderly conduct, the department said. 

Two other MS-13 gang members from El Salvador – Danny Granados-Garcia and David Antonio Aviles Perez – were taken into custody during separate ICE operations in Connecticut in April and California in March, respectively. 

Both men were wanted for murder in their home country. Granados-Garcia was accused of killing a pastor. Perez, meanwhile, had prior arrests in California for assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a controlled substance and petty theft. 

Edwin Antonio Hernandez Hernandez, another MS-13 gangbanger from El Salvador, was nabbed in Virginia in February. 

Hernandez confessed to five savage murders in his home country – including the live dismemberment of one victim, Assistant DHS Sec. Tricia McLaughlin said at the time of his arrest. 

The worst of the worst MS-13 members arrested by ICE in recent months also include Gerson Emir Cuadra Soto, who was wanted in his home country of Honduras for a quadruple homicide; Ismael Enrique Mendoza Flores, who committed aggravated homicide in El Salvador and had a prior arrest for unauthorized use of a vehicle in the US; and Nelson Vladimir Amaya-Benitez, whose criminal history included armed robbery, theft and malicious second-degree burning, according to DHS. 

The department has also taken numerous members of the vicious Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua off the streets – including Venezuelan national Yorvis Michel Carrascal Campo, who was charged with murder, racketeering and drug trafficking before he was nabbed in Colorado in January. 

Known TdA member Jesus Ruben Lopez Garcia – whose lengthy rap sheet includes theft, assault, criminal possession of a firearm and obstructing law enforcement – was also collared in Oregon in February. 

Christhian Ortega-Lopez — a suspected member of TdA — was living with ex-New Mexico judge Jose “Joel” Cano when they were both taken into custody in February 2025. 

The disgraced judge and his wife were slapped with federal charges related to alleged evidence tampering while harboring the illegal migrant. Ortega-Lopez pleaded guilty to illegally possessing firearms and conspiracy to destroy evidence after his arrest. 

Gangbangers aren’t the only ones getting the boot. 

As of last week, the government had deported nearly 900,000 illegal immigrants from US soil since Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20, 2025.
