In President Donald Trump’s first year back in office, over 2.5 million illegal aliens have left the country, due in large part to the administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration and extensive deportation program.

In its deportation push, the Department of Homeland Security has prioritized targeting violent criminal illegals. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin has accused the media of "whitewashing" facts about the arrests of illegal immigrants with violent criminal histories and portraying them as victims. 

"As the media whitewashes the facts, day in and day out, our brave men and women of ICE risk their lives for the American people," McLaughlin said.

From a "habitual" child predator to a beheading incident to another who strangled a taxicab driver to death, here are ten of the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens arrested with violent charges this year.

On June 1, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national living in the U.S. on an expired visa, was arrested on federal charges of first-degree murder, first-degree assault and a hate crime after allegedly setting fire to people at a pro-Israel event in Boulder.

Authorities described the attack as terrorism-inspired violence.

According to the federal indictment, Soliman threw two Molotov cocktails at event attendees, shouting, "Free Palestine!" Per the indictment, he was armed with a backpack weed sprayer that contained a flammable liquid and a black plastic container that held at least 18 Molotov cocktails.

Thirteen people were injured in the attack, and an 82-year-old woman, Karen Diamond, died of her injuries on June 25, 2025. A dog was also harmed.

Just days later, Emiliano Garduno-Galvez was arrested for attempted murder after he allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail at law enforcement during anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles.

The incident was caught on video and posted to X by DHS.

According to the agency, Garduno-Galvez had been previously deported and has a criminal history, including grand theft and a DUI.

On June 20, DHS announced that ICE arrested Gabriel Hurtado-Cariaco, a Venezuelan illegal immigrant and member of the infamous Tren de Aragua gang, which was designated a "foreign terrorist organization" by the Trump administration. 

According to DHS, during an immigration enforcement operation in Bellevue, Nebraska, Hurtado-Cariaco launched a "brutal and premeditated assault" on a female ICE Homeland Security Investigations special agent and an FBI agent. The agency said that Hurtado-Cariaco threw the ICE agent to the ground, slammed her head into the pavement, ripped off her body armor, and made repeated and physical violent contact. The agent survived but sustained serious injuries to her head and arm and was treated at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. 

Though Hurtado-Cariaco fled the scene, he was picked up hours later and charged with attempted murder of a federal officer and assault of a federal officer with infliction of bodily injury. He entered the country illegally in 2023. 

Also facing deportation is Indian illegal alien Harjinder Singh, who was arrested on August 12 after a Florida Turnpike crash in which investigators allege he made an unlawful U-turn with a semitruck, causing a wreck that killed three people.

DHS LAUNCHES 'WORST OF THE WORST' WEBPAGE TARGETING ALLEGED CRIMINAL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS NATIONWIDE

Singh is facing three counts of vehicular homicide in Florida and ICE has lodged a detainer for his arrest.

According to DHS, Singh entered the country illegally in 2018 and was issued a commercial driver’s license by the state of California in 2024. Singh’s case sparked widespread concern about illegal immigrant drivers endangering lives on U.S. roads.

On Aug. 18, ICE arrested William Alexander Telles Amaya, a 35-year-old criminal alien from El Salvador, whom the agency described as a "habitual child predator."

ICE said that Amaya has been convicted three times for child sex offenses, including aggravated sexual assault of a child in April 2006, failure to register as a sex offender in May 2015, and sexual indecency with a minor in July 2025.

DHS PACKAGES LATEST ICE ARRESTS AS 'CHRISTMAS GIFT TO AMERICANS'

In another major Texas city, Dallas, ICE arrested Cuban illegal Yordanis Cobos-Martinez on Sept. 10. According to the agency, Cobos-Martinez has a long criminal history, including child sex abuse, grand theft of a motor vehicle, false imprisonment and carjacking.

The agency said that Cobos-Martinez was arrested by Dallas police for allegedly using a machete to behead a merchant he had argued with. The agency said the murder took place in front of the merchant’s spouse and child and that Cobos-Martinez then kicked the head of the victim "around like a soccer ball."

ICE said that Cobos-Martinez had previously been arrested by ICE and had a final order of removal, but was released by the Biden administration just a week before Trump took office on Jan. 13.

DHS announced the Oct. 14 arrest of Eduardo Aguilar, a 23-year-old Mexican illegal alien residing in Dallas, after he called for the murder of ICE agents in a Spanish video posted on TikTok.

Aguilar’s post, dated Oct. 9, 2025, called for "10 dudes in Dallas with determination who aren’t afraid to [two skull emoji]." He offered "10K for each ICE agent."

According to court records, Aguilar was charged with transmitting a communication in interstate or foreign commerce containing a threat.

He entered the country illegally in 2018 and had an outstanding removal order from 2019. At the time of his arrest, Aguilar had a loaded 9mm handgun in his vehicle. 

DHS RIPS DEM-RUN COUNTY AFTER ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT MURDERER RELEASED: 'BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS'

In Plano, Texas, ICE lodged a detainer on Nov. 17 against Sergio Noe de Nova Duarte, a Mexican illegal alien, who allegedly attacked an innocent woman jogging in a park with a hammer.

The Plano Police Department charged Duarte with aggravated kidnapping and bodily injury. He had previous arrests for burglary and larceny in 2024 and had been arrested by ICE, but was released under the Biden administration. He was set to appear before an immigration judge in 2026.

He entered the U.S. on a tourist visa in 2016 and overstayed his visa.

This month, ICE announced it had arrested Esteban Silva-Garcia, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, following a conviction of strangulation, applying pressure to the throat or neck, and endangering the welfare of a child in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

ICE ARRESTS 100+ ILLEGAL ALIEN TRUCKERS IN MAJOR SWEEP AFTER DEADLY CRASHES ACROSS MULTIPLE STATES

Just days before Christmas, DHS announced it had arrested Santos Paulino Vasquez-Ramirez, a Guatemalan illegal charged with homicide and robbery. The agency said that Vasquez-Ramirez strangled a taxicab driver named Aurelio Zhunio-Orbez to death in Brewster, New York, over a dispute about fare.

Zhunio-Orbez’s body was found a few days later, floating in the Croton Falls Reservoir.  

Vasquez-Ramirez entered the country illegally in 2013 and had an outstanding order of removal from 2016.

Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel was set to be the guest picker on ESPN’s "College GameDay" for the College Football Playoff matchup between his alma mater, the Texas A&M Aggies, and the Miami Hurricanes.

However, at the last second, NBA champion Alex Caruso was put into Manziel’s spot after the former quarterback backed out. Manziel apologized in a post on his Instagram Stories, saying the reason he had missed his spot was out of his control and suggesting he was battling an illness.

Questions about the reason for him dropping out rose as he was reportedly spotted at the Jake Paul-Anthony Joshua fight the night before in Miami, Florida.

ESPN’s Rece Davis still seemed to be unsettled over the situation as he alluded to it in a recent podcast.

"When you go to a fight like that, you’ve got to be very careful about where you eat breakfast the next morning," he said on the "College GameDay Podcast." "Because it can leave you ill and give you difficulty in reaching the locales where you are scheduled to be. But I digress.

"I just wondered, is that what the kids are calling it these days? A bad breakfast? Anyway, wouldn’t cast aspersions anywhere. For those who follow closely, you’ll be able to read between the lines there. You have to follow a little closely."

Manziel missed a closely contested matchup.

Texas A&M had a 6-0 lead with 8:03 left in the fourth quarter. Miami’s Carson Beck then engineered a six-play, 86-yard drive that ended with a touchdown pass to Malachi Toney.

Miami won the game 10-6, and will meet Ohio State in the quarterfinals.

Being the child of a Hollywood star has its perks, and one of them is access to a designer wardrobe.

In addition to inheriting their famous parents' good looks and talent, these nepo babies also have the key to their mothers' vintage-filled closets.

Carys Zeta Douglas, the daughter of Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas, borrowed an iconic look from her mother's closet in October.

The 22-year-old posed on the red carpet with father Michael in her lace-accented black dress, a frock the movie star wore 20 years ago to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

The Brown University graduate styled the vintage dress with pointed black heels and ruby-hued earrings.

Zeta-Jones originally styled the dress in 2005 with black fringed stilettos and a matching clutch, adding a diamond pendant necklace and earrings.

This is not the first time Zeta-Jones' daughter borrowed one of her designer dresses.

Carys wore her mother's pink and white floral Ungaro dress to celebrate her 21st birthday.

The "Mask of Zorro" actress wore the frock in 1999 to the MTV Movie Awards.

Apple Martin, daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, attended the "Marty Supreme" premiere with her mother and brother Moses in December 2025.

The 21-year-old singer and model borrowed a designer dress straight out of Paltrow's closet.

Apple wore Paltrow's Calvin Klein slinky black dress she originally wore to the premiere of her film "Emma" in 1996.

Paltrow was 24 when she first wore the stunning low-cut, fitted maxi dress with black heels and a matching clutch. The actress paired the look then with dark lipstick, and her hair was in a messy updo.

Apple went more natural with her makeup and had a more polished hairstyle for the "Marty Supreme" premiere in mid-December.

In 2020, Paltrow told People she saved her red carpet dresses for daughter Apple, 15 years before she was even born.

"I have saved everything for her since 15 years before I had her. I save everything. Not everything, but every red carpet look I have saved for her," Paltrow told the outlet.

Dannielynn Birkhead, the daughter of the late Anna Nicole Smith, paid tribute to her mother at the 2025 Barnstable Brown Gala.

Dannielyn, 19, attended the event with her father, Larry Birkhead, in a black and crystal dress that Smith wore in 2004 to the same event.

Larry shared pictures from the event in May 2025 to his Instagram, captioning it, "Dannielynn is wearing Anna Nicole's dress that she wore 21 years ago to this same event. Life full circle. She said she chose the dress because it was her Mom's and 'super cool.'"

While walking the red carpet, Dannielynn told Access Hollywood wearing the dress is "the closest to a hug I can get from her."

Larry told People at the time it "was emotional" seeing their daughter in her dress because the last time he saw the dress was when Smith wore it. He added that the Barnstable Gala in 2004 was where he met Anna Nicole for the first time.

Smith died Feb. 8, 2007 at 39 from an accidental overdose.

In April, Andie MacDowell posed with daughter Rainey Qualley for People's Most Beautiful issue.

Qualley wore MacDowell's Alberta Ferretti gown she previously wore in 2017 at an event in Spain.

The gray low-cut frock had sheer black lace from the knees down. Qualley posed in the gown alongside her mom for the magazine photo shoot.

Kaia Gerber channeled mother Cindy Crawford’s famous 1991 Versace Oscars look.

While it wasn't the exact dress Crawford wore, Gerber wore a red gown that was reminiscent of her mother's iconic '90s look, per Vogue.

Crawford attended the 63rd Annual Academy Awards wit her partner at the time, Richard Gere.

In November 2025, Gerber wore the frock with Crawford at the 2025 LACMA Art + Film Gala.

Mia Threapleton, daughter of Kate Winslet, channeled her mother's 1998 Oscars look, a green and gold Givenchy dress.

Threapleton, 25, opted for a stylistic homage, not a re-use of the dress. 

The daughter of the "Titanic" star wore a dark green Oscar de la Renta number to the 2025 Cannes Film Festival that featured accents along the torso.

In March 2025, Lila Grace Moss Hack, 23, borrowed her mother Kate Moss’ leopard print jacket.

The model wore the bold coat for an outing, 19 years after her mom wore it in 2006.

"She's definitely got my magpie gene, which is great when we're shopping together at Saint Laurent or Lovers Lane and less great when she's squirreling through my closets for vintage Galliano or Westwood to steal. I think she may have pinched my boots today, you know," Moss told Vogue in 2023.

Macaulay Culkin is reflecting on one of the most iconic movies of his career.

Following a recent screening of the iconic holiday movie at the Academy Museum in honor of the film's 35th anniversary, the 45-year-old actor and the movie's director, Chris Columbus, sat down for a Q&A, in which Culkin shared that his two kids are big fans of the movie.

"They don’t even call it 'Home Alone,' they call it 'Kevin.' They’re like, ‘Wow, Kevin’s really funny.’ I go, ‘He’s also handsome, somebody that your mom [Brenda Song] might be into," Culkin said, via The Hollywood Reporter.

The actor shares two children with actress Brenda Song: sons Dakota, 4, and Carson, 3.

While the two are big fans of the Christmas movie, Culkin shared that he has not told them he's Kevin, saying, "I try to keep the magic alive."

"I showed my oldest — he wanted to see a picture of me and my siblings, so I pulled up this old photo; it’s all my siblings, and he looks right at me, and he goes, ‘Who’s that? That looks like Kevin,’" Culkin shared. "I go, ‘Oh, no, nobody, here’s your aunt.'"

After years in the entertainment industry, Culkin was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in December 2023. When speaking with Fox News Digital following the ceremony, the actor reflected on making the film, saying as a 9-year-old kid, he "just tried to be professional and charming at the same time."

While accepting the honor on stage, he thanked Song for being her "champion," adding, "You're the only person happier for me today than I am."

"You're the best woman I've ever known. You're the best person I've ever known," he said. "You've given me all my purpose. You've given me family. And after the birth of our two boys, you've become one of my three favorite people."

The two first met in 2014 at a mutual friend's house, but reconnected and began a romantic relationship in 2017 when they were both cast in the 2019 comedy "Changeland."

They later went on to get engaged in January 2022, with a source telling People at the time the couple was "excited for their future together."

Culkin shared during the Q&A that his perspective on the movie has changed since becoming a father, saying he now resonates with Catherine O'Hara's character, "seeing how desperately and how hard she's trying to get home" to her son.

He also shared that since becoming a parent, people always ask him if he watches "Home Alone" with his kids, to which he responds, "Of course, this movie is awesome."

"But I don't watch the movie, I watch them," he said. "I watch their eyes. I listen to them laugh and things like that. And it makes me really proud to be a part of something like that. So it resonates now. Now I can see it through their eyes."

He continued: "You guys were raised on it, now you guys are raising your kids on it, right? So, now I'm raising my kids on it. It means something completely different. That's the way I look at the movie nowadays."

The Afghan national accused in the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C., was hit with new federal charges that open the door for the death penalty. 

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia announced that Rahmanullah Lakanwal was charged with transporting a firearm in interstate commerce with the intent to commit an offense punishable by imprisonment for more than one year and with transporting a stolen firearm in interstate commerce. Sarah Beckstrom was killed in the Nov. 26 attack, while Andrew Wolfe was left seriously injured. 

"The transfer of this case from Superior Court to District Court ensures that we can undertake the serious, deliberate and weighty analysis required to determine if the death penalty is appropriate here," U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said in a statement. 

"Sarah Beckstrom was just 20 years old when she was killed, and her parents are now forced to endure the holiday season without their daughter," she added. "Andrew Wolfe, by the grace of God, survived but has a long road ahead in his recovery."

The U.S. Attorney’s Office said Lakanwal also "remains charged with first-degree murder while armed, assault with intent to kill while armed and two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, in violation of the D.C. Code." 

In an affidavit released this week, an FBI special agent wrote that the weapon Lakanwal allegedly used in the shooting was a .357 Smith & Wesson revolver that was stolen from a home in in Seattle in May 2023. 

The agent said the individual who provided the weapon to Lakanwal on Nov. 14 at his home in Bellingham told investigators "that he gave the firearm to Lakanwal because he believed Lakanwal wanted it for personal protection while working as a rideshare driver."

The day after obtaining the revolver, Lakanwal purchased a box of additional .357 caliber ammunition from a sporting goods store in Bellingham, the affidavit continued.

"Additionally, legal process reveals that on November 15, 2025, approximately two hours after he purchased the ammunition, Lakanwal searched ‘Washington, D.C.’ in Google Maps," the FBI special agent also wrote in the affidavit. "The next day, Lakanwal searched ‘The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20500’ in Google Maps. Of note, the shooting committed by Lakanwal on November 26, 2025, occurred in Washington, D.C., approximately two blocks from the White House." 

Attorney General Pam Bondi previously has said the Department of Justice intends to seek the death penalty against Lakanwal. 

A former child star from "The Sound of Music" says she helped decorate the White House under President Donald Trump and described the first lady’s role in the process.

"I was just thrilled to be a part of that," Debbie Turner, who starred as Marta Von Trapp in the 1965 film, told People.

Turner said she helped decorate the White House for Christmas in 2017 after leaving Hollywood to become a florist not long after "The Sound of Music" first debuted.

It is a long-standing tradition that the first lady oversees the task of decorating the White House, alongside dozens of designers and volunteers. Turner said Melania Trump was directly involved in the decorating process.

"Melania is actually the one who works with the lead person to put the White House together," Turner said.

The year 2017 marked the first Christmas the Trumps spent in the White House. The chosen theme, "Time-Honored Traditions," was meant to honor more than 200 years of the nation’s holiday traditions. It featured tributes to service members and their families, including a "Gold Star Family Tree," 71 wreaths and a 350-pound gingerbread house.

Turner described the experience as one of the most "physically grueling and cool things" she has ever done.

MELANIA TRUMP’S WHITE HOUSE CHRISTMAS IS A SHINING BEACON OF AMERICA

"It was a week-long deal. It was me and 149 other designers that they put to task to do all these things to make the magic of Christmas at the White House happen," Turner said.

She explained that she helped decorate the Blue Room, which houses one of the White House’s most iconic displays, the People’s Tree.

"The most proud moment of that house was doing the largest tree, which is in the Blue Room," said Turner.

"I got to decorate the People's Tree, which was kind of the centerpiece or the focal piece of the entire White House," she added.

While she described the opportunity as "pretty amazing," Turner also recalled a frightening moment.

"I had to go up on scaffolding. I almost fell and killed myself," she added.

Turner told People she is nearing retirement but said she would return to help decorate the White House again if given the opportunity.

A straw poll taken at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest this weekend revealed that conservatives are, as a spokesman described, "all in" for Vice President JD Vance running for president in 2028. 

Asked who they would like to see as the Republican presidential nominee in 2028, the vast majority of respondents, 84.2%, answered Vice President JD Vance. Far behind Vance was Rubio at 4.8% and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis at 2.9%.

Andrew Kolvet, a spokesman for TPUSA, told Fox News Digital that the poll portrays a clear picture of the state of the conservative movement. 

From the responses, Kolvet said it is clear that "the movement is all-in for JD Vance in 2028, winning the most support in the history of our poll."

VANCE SAYS 'AMERICA FIRST' MOVEMENT REJECTS 'PURITY TESTS,' WELCOMES CRITICAL THINKERS

Kolvet explained,"There are bright dividing lines in the conservative movement right now, so we wanted to get clarity on where the base is on these hot-button issues in Turning Point Action’s official AmericaFest 2025 straw poll." 

"We wanted to get a real read on where the base is at after Charlie’s assassination, and a few things really jump off the page," he said. 

The most popular Trump administration accomplishment amongst conference attendees was securing the border, with nearly 60% of respondents answering this, while 22.2% of respondents answered deportations.

Conference attendees also shared that winning the midterms and radical Islam are among their top concerns.

A wide margin believed that the conservative movement’s top priority in 2026 should be winning the midterms. Per the poll, 63.9% of AmFest attendees believed the conservative movement should be prioritizing winning the midterms, which would preserve Republicans’ majorities in the House and Senate.

POLICY GROUP PRAISES TRUMP’S 100 GLOBAL WINS SINCE TAKING OFFICE, FROM CARTEL CRACKDOWNS TO PEACE DEALS

The next highest priority, according to attendees, was voter integrity/voter ID at 9.3%. Other priorities were the affordability crisis at 8.1%, mass deportations at 5.3% and accountability for the deep state/lawfare at 4.2%.

Asked what the biggest threat is facing America, 31,008 responded "radical Islam." In close second was socialism and Marxism at 30,387. Third was mass migration, with 28,223 saying that is the greatest threat to America, and fourth was the economy and affordability at 27,315.

Related to mass migration, 89.5% of poll respondents said they would support a moratorium on new immigration into the United States.

Attendees were also questioned on their feelings about Israel. Over half, 53.4 percent, said they see Israel as "one ally out of many," while a third said they see Israel as America's "top ally" and 13.3 percent said they believe Israel is "not an ally." 

The poll also revealed what members of President Donald Trump's Cabinet are most popular and unpopular amongst the conference’s heavily conservative audience.

According to the poll, which was taken by Big Data Poll, the Trump Cabinet member with the strongest job performance approval rating amongst AmFest attendees is Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, as 83.3% of conference attendees voiced they strongly approve of him.

A total of 94.7% of AmFest attendees said they either strongly or somewhat approve of Hegseth.

As War secretary, Hegseth has been one of the most vocal Trump Cabinet members, with such actions as changing the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War, expunging DEI from the military and targeting cartel drug boats in the Caribbean.

TRUMP CABINET WIVES REVEAL RARE GLIMPSE INTO PRESIDENT’S ‘ONE BIG TEAM’ APPROACH

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. received similarly high approval ratings from the AmFest attendees at 76.6% and 80.8%, respectively. Kennedy received the highest overall approval rating from AmFest attendees, with 96.8% saying they either strongly or somewhat approve of him.

The Cabinet member with the highest disapproval rating was U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, whom 13.4% of attendees said they strongly disapprove of and 15.6% said they somewhat disapprove. Despite this, most poll participants, 64.8%, still said they either strongly or somewhat approve of Bondi’s job performance in the Trump administration.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, another highly vocal and prominent Trump Cabinet member who has spearheaded the administration’s deportations and border security efforts, received broad approval with 90.1% of participants saying they either strongly or somewhat approve of her job performance.

FOX NEWS POLL: MAJOR INCREASE IN POSITIVE VIEWS ON BORDER SECURITY

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy both received approval ratings in the 80s.

Poll participants had less to say about Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Agriculture Secretary Brook Rollins, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer and Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collin, with between 28 and 39% of respondents saying they were unsure about their job performance.

According to the poll, 88.3% of respondents self-identified as Republican and 94.7% identified as conservative.

Commenting on the poll, Kolvet said that conservatives "see Israel as an important ally of the United States despite so much chatter to the contrary" and "they love the job that Secretaries Hegseth, Rubio, and RFK Jr. are doing, but they harbor skepticism about the DOJ." 

"Above all," Kolvet said that conservatives "are laser focused on winning the midterms and fixing mass migration, which they clearly see as connected to the rise of radical Islam, socialism, and crime." 

He added that "it’s clear that immigration remains the key to energizing the base ahead of the midterms."
