25 illegals convicted of child sex crimes in US deported in October: ICE Houston
More than two dozen illegal immigrants convicted of committing at least one child sex crime were deported in October, according to ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations Houston Field Office (ERO Houston).
Among the 25 child sex offenders deported last month were illegal immigrants with gang affiliations, multiple deportations and multiple convictions for various crimes.
“The 25 noncitizens that ERO Houston removed last month illegally entered the country and then proceeded to prey on the innocence and vulnerability of our children,” ERO Houston Field Office Director Bret Bradford said in a news release.
Though the office did not release the criminals’ names, they did share details about 10 of the people deported.

Bradford said his immigration officers “live and raise families in this community” and “take their mission to protect the residents of southeast Texas from dangerous criminal noncitizens like this personally.”
“Last month’s results are just another example of their unyielding commitment to apprehend and remove threats to public safety to protect our communities from harm and restore integrity to our nation’s immigration system,” Bradford said.
