U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the arrest of several undocumented immigrants across the United States, including individuals from the Caribbean, as part of its ongoing efforts to target those with serious criminal convictions. The arrests include individuals convicted of sexual assault, assault, human trafficking, and burglary.
ICE said the arrests were made possible by a 120% increase in manpower, allowing agents to target illegal aliens with serious criminal convictions more aggressively. According to Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, “70% of ICE arrests are of criminal illegal aliens with charges or convictions in the United States. In 2026, with increased resources, ICE is unleashed to arrest even more criminal illegal aliens and remove them from our communities.”
The Caribbean nationals named in the recent arrests include:
-
Randolfo Agusto Diaz-Cabrera, from the Dominican Republic, convicted of second-degree sexual conduct against a child in Kings County, New York.
-
Brett Archer, from Barbados, convicted of assault in Brooklyn, New York.
-
David Llama-Lopez, from Cuba, convicted of human trafficking in Miami, Florida.
Other individuals arrested include criminal illegal aliens from Mexico and Central America, involved in crimes ranging from sexual assault of a child to burglary.
ICE has made the cases part of a broader effort to publicize its arrests online, with information available on its website at wow.dhs.gov.
The announcement underscores the U.S. government’s ongoing efforts to enforce immigration laws and prioritize the removal of illegal aliens who have committed serious crimes. Caribbean nationals appear prominently in this round of arrests, reflecting ICE’s nationwide scope of operations.
