Here is the list the open-borders crowd never wants printed. Over a single weekend, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested illegal aliens already convicted in American courts of homicide, child rape, kidnapping and armed robbery — men who were not picked up on a technicality, but who had done the crimes, taken the convictions, and were still walking around American neighborhoods, Breitbart News reported in an exclusive.
“While Americans were enjoying their weekend, ICE law enforcement was arresting murderers, pedophiles, rapists, kidnappers, and other criminal illegal aliens across the country,” a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told the outlet.
Among those taken into custody was Juan Mauricio Castillo of El Salvador, previously convicted of homicide by willful killing in Washoe County, Nevada. Let that sink in — a convicted killer, here illegally, free enough to be arrested at leisure on a Saturday.
The child predators on the list are worse. ICE arrested Juan Escobar-Herrera of Honduras, convicted of sexual assault of a child under 12 years old in Opelika, Alabama; Aung Lwin of Burma, convicted of sexual assault on a child in Omaha, Nebraska; and Bruno Efren Santos-Gonzalez of Ecuador, convicted of sexual intercourse with a child in Los Angeles. Carlos Tino-Garcia of Guatemala was convicted of first-degree sexual assault in Lincoln, Nebraska. Antonio De Jesus Andrade-Ochoa of Mexico was convicted of second-degree rape in Georgetown, Delaware. Aenoy Panyanouvoung of Laos carried convictions for sex assault, failure to register as a sex offender, assault, forgery and fraud out of St. Louis.
The rest of the roster reads like a police blotter from a city that gave up. Joel Olivio-Baez of the Dominican Republic: assault, kidnapping, possession of a firearm with an altered serial number, carrying a prohibited weapon, false imprisonment and resisting arrest in Newark. Francisco Meza-Cardenas of Mexico: assault with a deadly weapon in Santa Barbara. Deangelo Byer of the Bahamas: aggravated battery in Groveland, Florida. Ryne Usher of Belize: robbery, vehicle theft, burglary and possession of a firearm for an unlawful purpose in Montclair, New Jersey. Navindra Naidu of Guyana: robbery in Carmel, New York. Christian Maximo Castaneda-Negrete of Peru: kidnapping, burglary and violation of a court order. Two more, Jose Luis Bustos-Ramirez of Mexico and Doliner Guido-Martinez of Costa Rica, carried federal drug-trafficking convictions out of Texas and South Florida.
Notice what every single one of those names has in common. They were already convicted. Every one of them stood in an American courtroom, in front of an American judge, and every one of them was still in the country afterward — released back into Alabama, Nebraska, New Jersey, California, Florida, New York. Sanctuary politicians and their allies in the press spent years insisting that detainers were cruel and that cooperation with federal immigration authorities would make communities less safe. This is the bill for that argument, and American families paid it.
“The men and women of ICE work every single day to remove dangerous criminals like these from our communities and make America safe again,” the DHS spokesperson said. “With these criminals off our streets and out of our country, it’s no wonder that crime rates have reached record lows under the Trump administration.”
This is a window into what happens when a country decides that enforcing its own laws is optional. None of these men needed to be found — they were already in the system, already fingerprinted, already convicted, and the only thing standing between them and another victim was whether anyone in authority felt like acting. For years, nobody did. Now somebody does, and the same voices that let these convictions pile up are calling it an overreach.
