Over the weekend, several of those illegal alien criminals arrested by ICE had previous charges related to child sex abuse. Efren Guzman-Lopez, who is originally from Guatemala, was picked up in Texas following a conviction for indecency with child-sexual contact and child grooming. Another criminal illegal alien convicted of sex offenses with a child, specifically lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14, was picked up this weekend in California. The individual originally from Mexico, Javier Millan-Salgado, was also listed on the sex offender registry, according to DHS.

Multiple individuals in California were picked up this weekend for having "sex with a minor" as well, according to DHS, while a criminal illegal alien in Missouri, Pedro Jucub, was arrested for "sexual misconduct" with a child under the age of 15. These criminal illegal aliens were from Guatemala and Mexico. 

Others were arrested for acts of sexual abuse and sexual assault, including in New York and Salt Lake City.

DHS has set up a website at WOW.DHS.Gov, where Americans can learn about the public safety threats being arrested in their communities.

"The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is highlighting the worst of worst criminal aliens arrested by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)," the website's homepage reads. "Under Secretary Noem's leadership, the hardworking men and women of DHS and ICE are fulfilling President Trump's promise and carrying out mass deportations – starting with the worst of the worst – including the illegal aliens you see here."
