'Worst of the Worst': Latest ICE roundup nabs pedophiles, attempted murderers

ICE spent the weekend on attempted murderers and men who preyed on children. The press still calls that a mood.

Summary

  • Just the News reports DHS announced Monday that ICE had taken a batch of convicted criminal illegal aliens from Ecuador, El Salvador, Mexico, Honduras, Cuba, Brazil, Vietnam, Guatemala, and India, all with prior convictions.
  • DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said officers worked through the weekend to remove attempted murderers, pedophiles, sexual assailants, drug traffickers, and other public-safety threats.
  • The Monday list included Edison Javier Bueno-Tenempaguay of Ecuador, convicted of sexual assault of a minor aged 13 to 15, and Jose Felix Marquez-Hernandez of El Salvador, convicted of sexual battery of a familial or custodial victim aged 12 to 17.
  • Also named: Nolasco Bautista-Santiago of Mexico (indecency with a child), Jayron Calix-Padilla of Honduras (indecent liberties with a child), Gerardo Toledo-Tocas of Cuba (sexual assault, robbery, vehicle theft, and failure to register as a sex offender), and Josafa Aguiar Da Costa of Brazil (second-degree sexual assault and risk of injury to a child).

Commentary

A cafeteria worker still wipes linoleum after the last tray and thinks about the walk to the bus. She does not need a seminar on 'context.' She needs the man with the child conviction off the block.

That is the gap. Thirteen to fifteen. Twelve to seventeen. A sex-offender registry ignored. The weekend shift at ICE did not wait for a panel. The old model left those names in a county that called the paper optional.

Look every mother at a vinyl waiting chair in the eye: if a child conviction is not enough to finish a removal, what number were you waiting for?

Comments

If the docket already has a child conviction, why was the man still here?
u/border_dad · 5h

A child conviction is not a first warning. It is the last one the victim gets.

u/midwest_vet · 4h

I stood a midwatch so a town could sleep. These names should have been a plane, not a press cycle.

u/rule_first · 4h

Failure to register as a sex offender is a second crime. Removal after the finding is the statute talking.

u/tokyo_ally · 3h

Allied countries do not need a weekend memo to remove a man who already failed a child docket.

u/docket_rat · 3h

Watch the NGOs call this 'targeting.' They never sat with the 13-to-15 file.

u/night_shift · 2h

I get docked for a late punch. He got years after a child finding. That is not mercy. That is a leak.

u/texas_mom · 90m

Twelve to seventeen is my daughter's age band. Do not tell me this is a labor story.

u/gulf_watch · 55m

Cartels and predators both count the cities that will not finish a removal. Print the names.

u/press_clip · 30m

Just the News printed the countries, the ages, and Mullin's weekend list. Argue those nouns.

u/soc_lead · 15m

Remove after the conviction. Charge the registry skip. Stop leaving a child case on a local calendar.
