US Homeland Security Identifies 10 Bangladeshi Nationals Arrested in Major Crime Crackdown

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has released the identities of 10 Bangladeshi nationals arrested in the United States over allegations of involvement in serious criminal activities.

The arrests were made as part of a special ongoing operation targeting undocumented immigrants, in line with an election pledge by Donald Trump. The individuals face a range of charges, including child abuse, rape, sexual violence, drug trafficking, fraud, credit card fraud, armed robbery, and assault.

According to DHS, its agency Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested approximately 400,000 undocumented immigrants over the past year. Among them, 56,000 were convicted of serious crimes. The 10 Bangladeshis were described by the agency as “worst of the worst” offenders.

Deputy Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis issued a statement saying that law enforcement agencies have recently detained thousands of undocumented immigrants involved in serious crimes.

“These criminals attack children or harm innocent people. They should not have the opportunity to remain in the United States, as they pose a significant threat to society,” the statement said.

Among the arrested individuals:

• Kazi Abu Saeed was detained in Fort Scott on charges including exploitation of a minor, illegal gambling operations, and related offenses.
• Shahed Hasan was arrested in Raleigh for carrying a concealed weapon and shoplifting.
• Mohammad Ahmed was detained in Buffalo on allegations of sexual assault and related crimes.
• MD Hossain was arrested in Queens on charges of sexual assault.
• Mahtab Uddin Ahmed was detained in Chantilly for selling marijuana and hallucinogenic drugs.
• Nawaz Khan was arrested in Marlin on charges related to dangerous narcotics.
• Shahriar Abir was detained in Pensacola on theft charges.
• Alamgir Chowdhury was arrested in Mount Clemens for credit card fraud.
• Ishtiaq Rafi was detained in Manassas on charges involving weapons and possession of synthetic drugs.
• Konok Parvez was arrested in Phoenix on fraud charges.

Authorities said the operation is part of broader enforcement efforts to remove individuals considered a threat to public safety.
