Federal agents took down and arrested a man in Washington, D.C., who is in the United States illegally and was arrested last year for allegedly sexually assaulting a child.
A journalist from NBC Washington witnessed the arrest take place on the National Mall and posted a video of it online. The man, an illegal alien from Mexico, can be seen getting out of his car and appearing to attempt an escape from federal agents on foot before he is thrown to the ground and detained.
“I don’t owe anything! I don’t owe anything!” the man yells in Spanish, according to <a href="https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/officers-detain-man-in-apparent-ice-enforcement-on-national-mall-as-he-screams-for-help/3977693/">NBC</a>. “Please! I’m not a criminal! I work here! I want to be with my family!”

The unlawfully present alien has been identified as David Perez-Teofani, 36. He has a court order to be deported from the United States, and has entered the country illegally at least three times, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The man was previously arrested in January of last year in Virginia on charges of aggravated sexual assault of a child under 13 and indecent liberties with a child under 15. Prosecutors later dropped the charges.
“Yes, this illegal alien from Mexico was previously arrested in January 2024 in Fairfax County for aggravated sexual assault of a child under 13. Glad he is off of Washington DC’s streets thanks to President Trump, Secretary Noem, and ICE,” the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement.
Perez-Teofani was later loaded into an SUV by federal agents.
“My family has papers! My family and my children! Please! Please!” he yelled.

The D.C. police were put under federal control on August 11, followed by a court-approved deal that restored local command while keeping some federal oversight in place. The president cited out-of-control crime in his decision to exercise executive power to temporarily take control of the police force.
The White House has touted the results of Trump’s crime crackdown in the nation’s capital. 
“Thanks to President Trump’s bold actions to Make DC Safe Again, more than 550 dangerous criminals have been removed from the streets of our nation’s capital,” White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/scoop-white-house-touts-guns-drug-haul-removed-from-dc-streets-trumps-crime-blitz-nets-550-arrests">Fox News</a> on Wednesday.
&#8220;While the Fake News tried to sell a lie that D.C. was safe, these arrests reveal the truth,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Hundreds of violent criminals have been arrested by federal law enforcement agents for carrying illegal weapons, distributing deadly drugs, committing armed robbery, and having ties to dangerous gangs like MS-13. President Trump is making DC safe again by enforcing the law and everyday Americans support his commonsense, tough-on-crime policies.&#8221; 
Hundreds of those arrested since Trump announced the liberation of Washington from crime have been illegal aliens. Through Tuesday, federal agents and D.C. police had arrested 465 people, with 206 of those, or 44%, being illegal aliens, according to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/us-news/trump-dc-immigration-raid-ab03b4bc">The Wall Street Journal</a>.
