Over 200 illegal alien sex offenders have been arrested in the Houston, Texas, area in just the last six months alone.
The 214 predators arrested by ICE “have been charged or convicted of a sex offense involving a minor,” according to a press release from the agency.
ICE noted, “The 214 arrests were more than the Houston field office arrested during the entire 2024 fiscal year, when officers there arrested 211 illegal aliens charged or convicted of child sex offenses.”
The agency credited the Trump administration’s “whole-of-government approach” for being able to arrest the dangerous illegal aliens by conducting “daily enhanced immigration enforcement operations” that targeted the “worst of the worst” for arrest and removal.
“Bringing together the resources and expertise of the entire federal law enforcement community to confront the overwhelming surge of illegal immigration that we saw over the past four years has resulted in the arrest and removal of historic numbers of violent criminal aliens, transnational gang members and child sex offenders,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Houston acting Field Office Director Paul McBride.
McBride continued, “While we still have a long way to go to truly get this crisis under control, the strides we have made in just six months to make our local communities safer are substantial, and our officers continue to work tirelessly every day to get the worst of the worst criminal aliens out of Southeast Texas to return our communities to places we can all enjoy.”
ICE listed some of those who have been arrested as:
- Jesus Gutierrez Mireles, a 67-year-old, three-time deported criminal alien from Mexico, who was arrested March 28 and has been convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child and driving while intoxicated. ICE removed Gutierrez Mireles to Mexico April 4.
