During Thanksgiving 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers carried out arrests of several illegal aliens convicted of serious crimes, a DHS press release stated. Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said that while Americans gathered for the holiday, ICE officers were “hard at work” arresting individuals described as “the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens.” The release named five arrests: Salvador Cifuentes‑Catalan of Guatemala, convicted of lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14 in Santa Ana, California; Ernest Henry Wagner of Belize, convicted of rape in Elkhart, Kansas; Oluwadamilola Christiannah Akinpelu of Nigeria, convicted of conspiracy to commit bank fraud in the Southern District of New York; Keith Henry Thompson of the Bahamas, convicted of murder in the third degree in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania; and Julio‑Hernandez‑Popcatl of Mexico, convicted of open lewdness in Easton, Pennsylvania. The statement highlights ICE’s role in protecting communities even on holidays.
