All 17 illegal migrants were convicted of their respective crimes while residing in the United States.
The arrests come just days after the agency announced it had arrested over 10,000 illegal migrants in Los Angeles despite "violent rioters who assaulted our law enforcement, threw rocks and Molotov cocktails at them, and attempted to obstruct lawful arrests of criminal illegal aliens," as reported by Fox News Digital.

DHS has not held back from boasting about the capture of dangerous illegal migrants, and even recently created an arrest database available to the public.
The agency announced a "worst of the worst" website, which was launched last week, to provide details about convicted violent criminals and pedophiles that are living in the United States illegally.
