The Department of Homeland Security identified five men it said had prior convictions for crimes including child sexual abuse, attempted kidnapping, and burglary, arrested in a nationwide enforcement operation
The Department of Homeland Security said Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested five men it described as convicted criminals in the country illegally, as part of its ongoing enforcement operations.
According to ICE, those arrested include Adrian De Jesus-Maldonado, a Mexican national the agency said was convicted of sexual conduct against a child under 13 in the Bronx, New York; Ebodio Robles-Miguel, a Mexican national convicted of forcible lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 in Santa Barbara, California; Carlos Humberto Perez-Soza, a Honduran national convicted of sexual assault by force or coercion in Essex County, New Jersey; Esteban Lozano-Cuestas, a Mexican national convicted of attempted felony kidnapping in Bernalillo County, New Mexico; and Jairo Calderon-Larrain, a Chilean national convicted of second-degree burglary, conspiracy to commit burglary, and larceny in Wake County, North Carolina.
The agency said the arrests reflect its continued effort to remove people with criminal convictions from U.S. communities. In a statement, Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said ICE officers had arrested individuals the agency considers public safety threats.
