U.S. ICE Detains Caribbean Nationals in Major Operation Targeting Violent Criminal Migrants

CMC – Jamaican nationals were among criminal migrants deemed the “worst of the worst” who were detained in recent days by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents of the United States Department of Homeland Security.

The department says the criminals include those convicted of sexual assault of a child, assault, and human trafficking.

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said pedophiles, violent thugs, and human traffickers have been removed from American communities.

McLaughlin said the arrests included Jamaicans Duane Alando Spence, who was convicted for aggravated battery-great bodily harm in Miami, and Marvin McGregor, who was convicted of third-degree murder, firearms possession, and recklessly endangering another person in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania.

She said others arrested included Brett Archer, a Barbadian national convicted of assault in Brooklyn, New York, Randolfo Agusto Diaz-Cabrera, a Dominican Republic national convicted of second-degree sexual conduct against a child in Kings County, New York; Desiderio Marte Vargas, another Dominican Republic national, convicted of attempted murder and unlawful possession of a weapon in Paterson, New Jersey; Cubans Duniesky Eugenio Delgado-Gazo, convicted for aggravated assault in Pensacola, Florida and Yusney Figueroa Arguelles, convicted of robbery with a firearm in Orlando, Florida.

McLaughlin said under President Donald Trump and Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is targeting and removing “the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens terrorising American families”.

McLaughlin said 70 per cent of ICE arrests are of criminal illegal immigrants with charges or convictions in the United States.

“In 2026, with a 120 per cent increase in manpower, ICE is unleashed to arrest even more criminal illegal aliens and get them out of our country,” she said.
