White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt held a press conference on Friday, where she addressed ICE’s continued efforts to enforce immigration law and deport Biden’s criminal illegal aliens. 
Leavitt discussed President Trump’s signing of the Laken Riley Act, a new memorandum designating Guantanamo Bay as a detention center for criminal aliens, and announced new arrests of violent and sexually predatory illegal aliens. The latest arrests by ICE include a Guatemalan convicted of solicitation to meet a child, a Korean convicted of nine counts relating to child pornography, a Mexican charged with attempted murder, possession of a weapon, and assault, and another Mexican convicted of child pornography charges.
“Our message is simple: if you are a criminal illegal alien, you will be arrested and deported,” Leavitt said.

As the Gateway Pundit reported, several conservative news outlets are now represented in the White House briefing room, including The Gateway Pundit, One America News Network, Real America’s Voice, and Breitbart. Leavitt previously announced that “the Trump White House will speak to all media outlets and personalities, not just the legacy media that’s in this room.”
On Friday, Leavitt responded to this reporter’s question about criminal illegal aliens being protected by state and city officials in Illinois and Maryland.
As The Gateway Pundit recently reported, Democrats in Illinois are preventing ICE officials from detaining illegal aliens who are in local jails and prisons and even trying to allow illegal aliens to change their names to avoid detection by ICE. They would rather house these criminal aliens in jail at the expense of taxpayers and let them out into the street to terrorize law-abiding citizens than admit that they don’t belong in our country.
