A disturbing report from Restoration News has shed light on the arrests of numerous illegal immigrants in the United States during April 2024 alone. According to the analysis, a staggering 528 illegal aliens were apprehended for a range of serious crimes, including murder, sex crimes against children, human trafficking, and drug smuggling.
The report states that in the state of Georgia alone, 31 of these offenders were arrested on charges such as drug trafficking, battery, kidnapping, murder, and the sexual abuse and assault of children.
Among the arrested individuals was Pablo Ayala Hernandez, who was taken into custody on April 5 in Gwinnett County and charged with child molestation and sexual battery of a child under 16. Hernandez was subsequently placed on an ICE detainer.
Edwin Urias Lopez was another individual arrested in Gwinnett County on April 25, facing charges of child molestation. Like Hernandez, Lopez was also placed on an ICE detainer.
Other individuals, including Felix Hernandez-Martinez, Leonardo Fabio Ojito Atencio, and Leonel Diaz Romero, were arrested in Gwinnett County on charges involving cruelty to children and were subsequently placed on ICE detainers.
The report further highlights the arrests of Maria Guadalupe Garcia Garcia, Felix Hernandez-Martinez, Leonel Diaz Romero, Carlos Cabrera Echevarria, and Jose Zamorano, who were apprehended on charges ranging from battery against family members to other offenses. All of these individuals, except for Zamorano, who was arrested in Hall County, were taken into custody in Gwinnett County and placed on ICE detainers.
Celeo Daniel Reyes and Javier Gonzales Rodriguez were also arrested in Gwinnett County on charges including kidnapping, with both individuals being placed on ICE detainers.
In a particularly heinous case, 19-year-old Erik Ruiz-Lopez was arrested in Gwinnett County on April 3 and charged with the murder of his roommate. According to reports, Lopez allegedly strangled his roommate with a TV cable before repeatedly stabbing him with a knife. He was subsequently placed on ICE detainers.
In response to these alarming incidents, the Laken Riley Act was introduced, which would require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to detain non-citizens who have been arrested for crimes such as burglary, theft, and shoplifting. The bill has passed through the House for consideration by the US Senate, though all five Democratic members of Georgia’s House delegation voted against it.
The report also highlights the staggering figure of over 7.2 million illegal immigrants entering the United States since President Biden took office, a number larger than the population of 36 US states, according to a report from Fox News.
