Convicted Predator Nabbed by ICE in Bold NYC Operation
ICE Removes Convicted Child Predator, In a critical win for law enforcement, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents apprehended a violent illegal alien in New York City. Jorge Alberto Mejia Herrera, a Honduran national previously convicted of horrific child sex crimes, was arrested after being released by the NYPD under the city’s sanctuary policies.
A Criminal Set Free by Sanctuary Policies
Herrera had been found guilty of forcible sexual acts involving a child. Despite his brutal record, New York authorities released him on May 10. City sanctuary laws prevented collaboration with federal agents, enabling dangerous criminals to walk free.
ICE Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin confirmed the arrest, stating, “This depraved criminal alien was convicted of multiple sexual acts with a child. Thanks to our courageous ICE officers, he is now off the streets.”
Federal Intervention as Cities Fail
Sanctuary city rules, like those in New York, obstruct federal immigration enforcement. The consequences of these policies are dangerous. Secretary Noem has now urged leaders across the country to abandon these reckless laws.
“These policies are a game of Russian roulette with American lives,” she warned. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has vowed to intensify operations in sanctuary cities and remove criminal aliens one by one.
ICE Takes a Stand Against Lawlessness
ICE continues to uphold its commitment to protecting communities. Their agents risk their lives to enforce the law, especially where local governments fail.
“DHS will flood the zone,” McLaughlin added. “We will not rest while violent offenders remain at large.”
Call for Nationwide Action
The arrest of Herrera underscores the urgent need for policy reform. Americans deserve safety over politics. Sanctuary policies are not only lawless but deadly.
By capturing criminals like Herrera, ICE demonstrates that federal law still prevails—even in cities trying to ignore it. As DHS continues its mission, American citizens can rest a bit easier knowing these threats are being removed.
