ICE Houston deported 25 illegal immigrants convicted of child sex crimes in the U.S. last month

According to ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations Houston Field Office (ERO Houston), more than two dozen illegal immigrants convicted of at least one child sex crime were deported in October.

Among the 25 child sex offenders deported last month were illegal immigrants with gang affiliations, multiple deportations and multiple convictions for various crimes.

“The 25 non-citizens ERO Houston deported last month entered the country illegally and then preyed on the innocence and vulnerability of our children,” ERO Houston field office director Bret Bradford said in a news release.

Although the office did not release the names of the criminals, it shared details about 10 of the deported people.

A fortnight later, on October 16, a 37-year-old twice-deported Mexican national, proven to be a member of the Paisas gang, was deported with prior convictions for indecent acts on a child under 14 and illegal re-entry.

Another 37-year-old twice-deported Mexican national convicted of sexual indecency with a child and sexual assault of a child was deported the same day.

Bradford said his immigration officers “live and raise families in this community” and “take personally their mission to protect the residents of Southeast Texas from dangerous criminal non-citizens like these.”
