The Department of Homeland Security on Friday announced the arrests of five illegal immigrants convicted of a range of offenses, from murder to sexually abusing children. 

"These are not minor offenses. These are predators, abusers and murderers who should have never been in our country in the first place," said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. 

"Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, DHS is delivering on its promise to restore law and order and defend American families. If you are in this country illegally and have harmed others — your days here are numbered."

Among those arrested include Julio Celaya-Soto, a citizen of El Salvador convicted of second-degree murder in Guilford County, North Carolina.

Also taken into federal custody was Lazaro Vladimir Martinez-Argundi, a Cuban national whose criminal convictions include distribution and possession of child sexual abuse material in Lansing, Michigan. Jose Angel Garcia-Espino of Mexico was previously convicted in Texas for assault of a household member by strangulation.

ICE RAMPS UP ARRESTS OF CONVICTED CRIMINALS AS RIOTS RAGE IN BLUE CITY: 'YOU WILL NOT STOP US'

In New York, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested Miguel Angel Salmeron-Granados, from El Salvador, who was convicted of first-degree sexual abuse involving sexual contact with a child under the age of 11.

Guadalupe Cuevas-Sotelo, also from Mexico, has a criminal history that includes convictions for sexual abuse of a child and attempted rape in Salt Lake City.

The arrests came as ICE agents and the Trump administration continue to face pushback and legal challenges from Democratic and blue city officials over raids targeting criminal illegal immigrants. 

Lee Elia, a longtime baseball lifer who may be best known for his epic 1983 rant, died this week at the age of 87.

Elia played in 95 big league games and managed 538 with the Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Phillies. But it was after one of those games when Elia gave perhaps one of the most legendary rants of all time.

On April 29, 1983, Elia was the skipper for the Cubs when they dropped to 5-14 with a 4-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Wrigley Field crowd of 9,391 threw garbage at Keith Moreland and Larry Bowa as the Cubs made their way to the clubhouse.

Elia responded with an expletive-filled rant against Cubs fans that included at least 40 f-bombs.

"F--k those f---ing fans who come out here and say they’re Cub fans that are supposed to be behind you ripping every f---ing thing you do," Elia began. "I’ll tell you one f---ing thing, I hope we get f---ing hotter than s---, just to stuff it up them 3,000 f---ing people that show up every f---ing day, because if they’re the real Chicago f---ing fans, they can kiss my f---ing a-- right downtown."

That was just the beginning of the three-plus-minute tirade that was caught on a lone microphone in the clubhouse that day.

As part of his remarks, he declared that 85% of the world was working, while "the other 15% come out here." Back then, there were no lights at Wrigley Field, and the Cubs played only day games at home.

"'They’re really, really behind you around here.' My f---ing a--," Elia continued. "What the f--- am I supposed to do, go out there and let my f---ing players get destroyed every day and be quiet about it? For the f---ing nickel-dime people that show up? The motherf---ers don’t even work. That’s why they’re out at the f---ing game. They oughta go out and get a f---ing job and find out what it’s like to go out and earn a f---ing living." 

Elia, a Philadelphia native, had a 238-300 record in four seasons as a big league manager, two with the Cubs and two with the Phillies. He was a shortstop during his playing career, batting .203 with three homers and 25 RBIs in 95 games with the White Sox and Cubs. He was the third base coach when the Phillies won the 1980 World Series.

Elia also worked for the Seattle Mariners from 1993-97, 2001-02 and in 2008 as a hitting coach, bench coach and special assistant to the field manager.
