“Putting others before yourself is something you begin learning immediately, regardless of the service branch.” We stand on the shoulders of giants this Veterans Day, forever indebted for the freedom these heroes selflessly provided. Read Josh’s story — and the stories of other military veterans who continue a legacy of service with @HSI_HQ.

“We all came from different backgrounds ... but once we put on the uniform, we were part of the same team.” About 30% of ICE employees, like Ashley, continue a legacy of service with the agency after leaving the military. Read a few of their stories as we thank all veterans for the freedom they've selflessly provided for all Americans.

Thousands of ICE employees are veterans. Today — and everyday — ICE honors them and all who served.

As we commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States, we celebrate not only our enduring ideals—freedom, democracy, and the rule of law—that make our nation strong, but also the brave men and women of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement who have safeguarded our homeland for nearly a quarter of a century. ➡️ICE.gov/America250

ILLEGAL ALIEN CHARGED W/ATTEMPTED MURDER ARRESTED BY ICE AFTER PHILLY POLICE BROTHER BONDS HIM OUT Previously convicted of a firearms offense in NY, Jamaican national Christopher Leon Bailey is now accused of running over a pedestrian in PA and fleeing the scene. Bailey, who overstayed a 2009 tourist visa, allegedly nearly hit two pedestrians crossing the road in January before chasing them down in a parking lot and nearly hitting them again. Kicked to the ground by the victim after exchanging words, Bailey allegedly pulled a knife on the two before chasing them down again with his car and running over the victim before fleeing the scene. Bailey’s brother, a Philadelphia police officer, posted a cash bond Feb. 8, and the suspect was released without notification to ICE. ICE @EROPhiladelphia officers and @HSIPhiladelphia agents arrested him before he was remanded to the Delaware County Prison — in a sanctuary jurisdiction — March 16 when he appeared in court with his brother, who was in full uniform. Bailey will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings until the county issues a judicial writ. His additional charges include: —Felony aggravated assault: attempts to cause serious bodily injury or causes injury with extreme indifference —Aggravated assault: attempts to cause serious bodily injury or causes injury with extreme indifference —Aggravated assault: causes bodily injury with deadly weapon —Recklessly endangering another person: possessing an instrument of crime —Simple assault —Disorderly conduct —Reckless driving

ILLEGAL ALIEN CHARGED WITH RAPE WHILE TRAINING AS A CORRECTIONS OFFICER SET FREE BY PRISON Ibrahim George Kallon, an illegal alien from Sierra Leone whose visitor visa expired in 2024, was arrested while training to be a Delaware County Prison corrections officer and charged by Glenolden Police for: —Rape —Involuntary deviate sexual intercourse —Sexual assault —Aggravated indecent assault —False imprisonment —Indecent assault Delaware County Prison sent him back into the community despite an ICE immigration detainer, so ICE @EROPhiladelphia officers had to arrest him at-large Feb. 11. If the county won’t protect its own residents, we’ll do it for them.

CHILD PREDATOR ARRESTED ICE @EROPhiladelphia arrested Melvin Guiakora, a 29-year-old sexual predator from the Central African Republic. Thanks to the local prison honoring our detainer, we were able to take him into custody at the prison rather than out in the community. His criminal history includes a conviction for SEXUAL SOLICITATION OF A MINOR. When local jurisdictions like this one honor our detainers, we don’t have to make at-large arrests in people’s communities. (Ahem... We’re looking at you, Chicago and Portland.)

Third deportation’s the charm! Our Philadelphia officers ensured Olvin Mauricio Martinez Coto had a warm homecoming with authorities in Honduras, where the violent fugitive is wanted for: • Aggravated femicide • Attempted homicide • Forcible entry to a home Good riddance. The U.S. is no longer a safe haven for criminal illegal aliens under @POTUS and @SEC_Noem.
