“We all came from different backgrounds ... but once we put on the uniform, we were part of the same team.”
About 30% of ICE employees, like Ashley, continue a legacy of service with the agency after leaving the military.
Read a few of their stories as we thank all veterans for the freedom they've selflessly provided for all Americans.
On November 10, 2026, ICE lodged a detainer for Rony Alexander Gomez-Alberto, a criminal illegal alien from Honduras after he attempted to gain entry to the cockpit during a flight. His criminal history includes felony bomb threat, felony threat—terroristic state offenses, and disorderly conduct. He has been removed from the country twice and was released a third time, pending removal proceedings, by a judge. Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, criminal illegal aliens who try to HIJACK AIRPLANES are NOT welcome in the United States.
NEW: DHS confirms to @FoxNews that a suspect arrested on a Newark to New Orleans United flight last night for allegedly storming the cockpit and claiming to have a bomb, leading to United putting out a hijack alert for the plane, is a 2x previously deported Honduran illegal alien.
Rony Alexander Gomez-Alberto was arrested by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s office once the flight landed at MSY (New Orleans airport) and he has been charged with felony bomb threat, terroristic threats, and disorderly conduct.
Per DHS - Gomez-Alberto crossed the Texas border illegally in 2011 and was deported, then illegally re-entered through the New Mexico border in 2014 and was deported a second time. He illegally re-entered the country a third time in 2019, was arrested by Border Patrol, but was released from custody after an immigration judge ordered his release.
He is currently being held without bond by law enforcement in Louisiana.
"We've been hitting record numbers for the last six months, because every time we go after [criminal illegal aliens] serving a warrant, they're never by themselves." @SecMullinDHS
"Can you promise our viewers and the 77M people who voted for President Trump that there is no change in his immigration policy?"
@SecMullinDHS: "Zero change... And amnesty will NEVER be on the table."
If our asylum system is not secure, our nation is not secure.
The men and women of @USCIS are working every day to go after and take down asylum fraudsters, including terrorists and gang members, ensuring that these criminals face justice for trying to game the system.

On May 28, ICE lodged a detainer asking Illinois authorities not to release Shageldi Bashimov, an illegal alien from Turkmenistan, who had been convicted for aggravated battery with use of a deadly weapon. He had been sentenced to two years in prison in Chicago.
Illinois sanctuary politicians refused to honor the detainer, RELEASING this violent felon back onto the streets without notifying ICE.
Sanctuary politicians care so much about illegal aliens that they’d rather release a convicted violent felon than cooperate with federal law enforcement. These reckless sanctuary policies are only going to endanger more innocent Americans.
#EXCLUSIVE: @DHSgov says they’re looking for a convicted violent felon after Illinois authorities released him back into the community despite an @ICEgov detainer.
Shageldi Bashimov, a citizen of Turkmenistan, is currently a target for the agency—DHS says he was convicted of aggravated battery with use of a deadly weapon and sentenced to two years in prison in Chicago.
ICE lodged a detainer on May 28th seeking to take him into immigration custody. DHS says Illinois authorities declined to honor that request and released him without notifying ICE.
Bashimov entered the U.S. legally in March 2024 but overstayed his permitted time, according to the department.
@SecMullinDHS is calling on Illinois and other sanctuary states to change their policies saying, “These reckless sanctuary policies are only going to endanger more innocent Americans…”
@EROChicago St. Louis deportation officers arrested Thiago Lacerda Araujo, 31, a fugitive and illegal alien wanted by Brazil for alleged child rape, Nov. 5 in St. Charles, MO. He remains in ICE custody pending immigration proceedings.
ICE San Francisco arrested illegal alien Jose Rosales-Ayala, 32, of El Salvador, after a foot chase in San Mateo, CA. Rosales-Ayala has a DUI conviction and is an alleged MS-13 gang member. He will remain in ICE custody pending immigration proceedings.
🚨ICE Los Angeles arrested criminal illegal alien Milton Gustovo Benegas-Reyes, 22, of Honduras, Nov. 9. Benegas’ criminal record includes arrest for robbery, burglary, inflicting corporal injury on a spouse and assault with a deadly weapon. His is in ICE custody pending removal.
SAFEGUARDING AMERICA'S FINANCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE.
Since January 2026, the @SecretService has completed 70 fraud operations, recovering 694 skimmers and preventing an estimated $722.9 million in fraud loss.
Thanks to the efforts of the @WHFraudTF, the federal government has NEVER fought harder to protect the American taxpayer and bring scammers to justice.
