ICE Has Arrested Over 200 Illegal Alien Child Sex Offenders In Houston Over Last Six Months

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested more than 200 illegal alien child sex offenders in the Houston area in just the last six months, capturing more of the heinous criminals than were arrested in the entirety of the 2024 fiscal year.

A whopping 214 illegal aliens charged or convicted of engaging in sexual conduct with minors have been arrested by ICE in the Houston area, with the federal agency attributing its success to the whole-of-government effort to crack down on illegal immigration.

“Bringing together the resources and expertise of the entire federal law enforcement community to confront the overwhelming surge of illegal immigration that we saw over the past four years has resulted in the arrest and removal of historic numbers of violent criminal aliens, transnational gang members and child sex offenders,” ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Houston acting Field Office Director Paul McBride charged.

Among the illegal alien sex offenders captured by ICE is thrice-deported Mexican national Jesus Gutierrez Mireles, a 67-year-old with convictions for aggravated sexual assault of a child and driving while intoxicated. There’s also 48-year-old Mexican national Jose Zebra, who was convicted of two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a minor and sexual indecency with a minor.

Twice-deported 37-year-old Salvadoran national Manuel Antonio Castro-Juarez was convicted of sexual assault of a minor and illegal entry, while 40-year-old Mexican national and four-time deportee Jose Guadalupe Meza has convictions for theft and sexual assault of a child.

Among the 214 illegal alien child sex criminals is Mexican national Sergio Rolando Galvan Guerrero, who has been deported three times and was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child.

“While we still have a long way to go to truly get this crisis under control, the strides we have made in just six months to make our local communities safer are substantial, and our officers continue to work tirelessly every day to get the worst of the worst criminal aliens out of Southeast Texas to return our communities to places we can all enjoy,” McBride noted.

Agents in Houston have captured scores of illegal alien criminals since President Trump took office in January, with more than 1,300 illegal aliens being captured in the area in June alone.

Federal agents and their state law enforcement partners also captured more than 100 illegal aliens, including multiple child sexual predators and a cartel member wanted for murder, at Colony Ridge, a land development just outside of Houston that The Daily Wire exposed as a hotbed for illegal aliens.
