US EditionTexas ICE agents arrest hundreds of child sex offenders
HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS, JUL 30 – The arrests, part of a multiagency effort, include many repeat offenders and surpass the 211 arrests made in all of fiscal year 2024, officials said.
- In the last six months, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations agents in Houston apprehended 214 undocumented individuals facing charges or with convictions related to sexual offenses against minors, exceeding the total number of such arrests recorded during the entire 2024 fiscal year.
- These arrests follow the Trump administration's intensified immigration enforcement prioritizing the removal of what it calls the "worst of the worst" criminal illegal immigrants amid a surge of illegal immigration over the past four years.
- The Houston field office's efforts, supported by multiagency coordination including the FBI, ATF, DEA, and Customs and Border Protection, have targeted violent criminals, transnational gang members, and repeat offenders like Jose Guadalupe Meza and Manuel Antonio Castro-Juarez.
- A poll released on July 28 by the Wall Street Journal found that 90 percent of Republican voters approve of Trump's immigration policies, while an equal share of Democratic voters feel that the deportation measures have gone too far, highlighting a pronounced partisan divide.
- Officials claim these enforcement actions have made local communities safer, but acknowledge the crisis is ongoing and emphasize continued efforts to remove serious criminal aliens from Southeast Texas.
