WASHINGTON — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced this week the arrests of five individuals across the country, each previously convicted of serious crimes in the United States, including one arrest in Dallas, according to the agency.

Out-of-state arrests
According to the agency, four other arrests took place in New York, Pennsylvania, California, and North Carolina:
Yung Ho Lo, a Chinese national, arrested following a conviction for kidnapping in Brooklyn, New York.
Bernardo Campusano-Abreu, a Dominican national, arrested following convictions for sale of cocaine, cocaine possession, dangerous drugs, terroristic threats, and possession of narcotics equipment in Hazleton, Pennsylvania.
Israel Chavez-Tamayo, a Mexican national, arrested following convictions for conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine, cocaine, and heroin in Fresno, California.
Tresor Kamona, a national of the Democratic Republic of Congo, arrested following a conviction for felony larceny in Guilford County, North Carolina.
The agency did not release additional details about the dates of the underlying convictions, sentences served, or the current custody status of the individuals arrested.
“Yesterday, ICE arrested more sexual assailants, kidnappers, drug traffickers, and other worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from American communities,” Acting Assistant DHS Secretary Lauren Bis said in a statement. “Nearly 70% of ICE arrests are of illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the United States. While sanctuary politicians continue to release pedophiles, rapists, gang members, and murderers onto their streets, our brave law enforcement will continue to risk their lives to arrest these heinous criminals and make America safe again.”
