U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested aconvicted illegal immigrant child sex offender who had been living in a daycare in San Diego, California. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stated in a press release that Ezequiel Cruz-Rodriguez had been living with his wife, a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient, who operates an active daycare out of their home. According to the release, Cruz-Rodriguez had an extensive criminal history with three prior removals from the United States. Cruz-Rodriguez was originally removed from the United States in August 1996, when an immigration judge issued a final order of removal. The DHS said he was then removed another two times, once in October 2003 and again in December. he DHS also stated that Cruz-Rodriguez is a documented member of the Logan Heights gang, a notorious Mexican-American street gang that originated in San Diego, California. It took too long.
“It is SICKENING to think this pedophile criminal illegal alien was residing inside the home where a daycare operates and hiding out in a sanctuary city,” a senior DHS official said in a press release. “Thanks to the brave work of our ICE law enforcement officers, this criminal illegal alien, convicted pedophile, and known Logan Heights gang member will no longer be able to prey on children inside a daycare. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, sickos like this will not walk free in the U.S.”
