Elsewhere in Texas, Honduran illegal Darlin Josue Martinez-Espinoza was arrested after being convicted of aggravated sexual assault with a child, indecency with a child, and driving while intoxicated in Austin.
In Queens, New York, DHS said it arrested a Honduran illegal alien, Edgar Stiven Rivera-Villanueva, who it said was convicted of attempted gang assault.
Not far away, another illegal immigrant from Mexico, Salvador Hernandez-Aguilar, was arrested after being convicted of two counts of theft of a motor vehicle and resisting arrest in Middlesex County, New Jersey.
DHS said these five criminal illegal aliens represent some of the worst of the worst arrested in just one day, as it continues its crackdown on illegal immigrant crime.

Abrego Garcia was deported to his home country, El Salvador, earlier this year, but later returned to the U.S. to stand trial on human smuggling charges. DHS has previously presented evidence suggesting Abrego Garcia is also a member of the Salvadoran gang MS-13 and that he previously beat his wife, leading to the agency labeling him a "public safety threat."

Chris Newman, an attorney for Abrego Garcia’s family, has categorically denied those claims, telling Fox News Digital, "None of those things are true, full stop."
"The problem here is that the administration is trying its hardest to litigate this case through the media, as opposed to through courts of law," claimed Newman.
DHS called it "insane" that "sanctuary politicians chose to glorify and stand with an MS-13 gang member over the safety of American citizens."
The agency said that Trump and Secretary Kristi Noem "are not going to allow this illegal alien—who is an MS-13 gang member, human trafficker, serial domestic abuser, and child predator—to terrorize American citizens any longer."
