Oregon Drug Dealer Features in Homeland Security’s ‘Worst of the Worst’ as ICE Highlights the Case

The Department of Homeland Security has released a photo Gallery of 15 illegal aliens who they describe as “the worst of the worst” criminals.

One of the arrests was that of Isaias Alvarado-Arellano, a Mexican who was convicted of conspiracy to distribute and possess methamphetamine in the U.S. District Court in Oregon.

The 15 aliens are featured in a Homeland Security news release that states that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is delivering on its promise to make America safe again.

Homeland Security is dangling a carrot by offering illegal aliens a $3,000 stipend and a free flight home for the holidays if they ‘self-deport’ via the Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) home app before December 31, 2025.

Protests and Operation Black Rose Resulted in Hundreds of Arrests

Oregon is an immigrant sanctuary state, and two significant events over the last few months underscore the tension between supporters of the safe haven and proponents of the federal government’s new immigration laws.

The ICE detention center in South Portland became a pivotal target for protesters voicing their disapproval of immigration agent activity.

ICE agents arrested at least 60 people and issued about 70 citations for low-level offenses. Many of the arrests took place inside Oregon court buildings, where immigrants were seeking refugee status.

Then there was ICE’s notorious ‘Operation Black Rose’, which targeted undocumented immigrants. The operation has resulted in the arrest of more than 1,240 people.
