A Tongan criminal alien with a conviction for sexual assault has been arrested by ICE Denver, just as President Trump’s new immigration law pumps massive funding into deporting dangerous offenders.
Tianikumi Finau, 40, a Tongan national, was taken into custody by ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) and now faces removal from the U.S.
Finau has a violent criminal history, making him a top priority for deportation.
The arrest comes days after President Trump signed a “big, beautiful bill” into law, dramatically expanding ICE’s resources to track down, arrest, and deport illegal immigrants—especially those with criminal records.
The new funding allows ICE to intensify its crackdown, ensuring predators like Finau are taken off American streets.
“This isn’t someone who just “overstayed.” He’s got a conviction for sexual assault,” US Law Enforcement says on Facebook.
“Now he’s exactly where he belongs—off the street and in ICE custody waiting for removal.”
The news came after two months since the authority arrested Tongan national Tutulu Peatau Fale, an undocumented immigrant with multiple felony convictions.
