Governor Newsom and his fellow sanctuary politicians protect criminal illegal aliens and put the safety of American families at risk
WASHINGTON — ICE Los Angeles arrested 118 illegal aliens in California’s San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties during a six-day surge operation between December 26 and December 31, including pedophiles, registered sex offenders, burglars, domestic abusers, and serial drunk drivers.
“ICE ended 2025 with a surge operation in California targeting the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens. 118 illegal aliens were arrested including pedophiles, registered sex offenders, burglars, domestic abusers, and serial drunk drivers,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “Criminal illegal aliens flock to California because they know Governor Newsom and his fellow sanctuary politicians will allow them to terrorize innocent American families. In 2026, our law enforcement will continue to do what Gavin Newsom refused to do: make California safe again."
Some of the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens arrested during the surge operation are below:
