EXCLUSIVE: Meet The ‘Barbaric’ Criminals Locked Up In Trump’s Newest Migrant Detention Facility

Federal immigration authorities are jailing illegal migrants convicted of incredibly serious crimes under a new partnership with Louisiana, the latest in a growing list of state collaborations with the Trump administration.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Wednesday unveiled the opening of “Louisiana Lockup,” a new facility within the Louisiana State Penitentiary that has expanded Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention space by more than 400 beds. Of those currently being locked up at the new site, more than 50 individuals have been convicted of heinous offenses, according to a list exclusively shared with the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation.

Among those jailed are illegal migrants convicted of murder, rape, sexual exploitation of minors and other shocking conduct, according to DHS.

“Murderers, Pedophiles, Rapists, and Child Predators. These are the barbaric criminal illegal aliens arrested by ICE and being held at Louisiana Lockup,” a DHS spokesperson said a statement shared with the DCNF.

“If you are in America illegally, you could find yourself in CECOT, Cornhusker Clink, Speedway Slammer, or Louisiana Lockup,” the spokesperson continued. “Criminal illegal aliens are not welcome in the U.S.”

Among the 51 names shared with the DCNF, 26 have been convicted of murder, eight have been convicted of rape, another eight were convicted of sexual exploitation of minors and nine were convicted of sexual assault against minors.

Current inmates include Bounmy Thammavongsa, an illegal migrant from Laos convicted of raping a disabled victim, and Jorge Cajides-Vegas, a Cuban illegal migrant convicted of sodomizing a girl, according to DHS. Other illegal migrants at Louisiana Lockup include Felix Fernando Martinez Rico, a Cuban national convicted of rape with a weapon, and Minh Nguyen, a Vietnamese man convicted of fondling a child, an aggravated sexual offense.
