ICE Arrests Convicted Mexican Child Sex Offender With Three Prior Deportations, Logan Heights Gang Ties, in San Diego Daycare

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently arrested Ezequiel Cruz-Rodriguez, a Mexican illegal immigrant and convicted child sex offender, who was living in a licensed in-home daycare in San Diego operated by his wife, a DACA recipient. Cruz-Rodriguez has been deported three times previously and is a confirmed member of the Logan Heights gang. The arrest has drawn attention to sanctuary city policies and sparked criticism from Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, who emphasized that multiple child predator arrests have involved illegal aliens. In a separate operation in North Florida, six individuals were arrested in a child predator sting, including one illegal alien. ICE also reported removing other illegal aliens with criminal backgrounds from the streets, including David Perez-Teofani, charged with aggravated sexual battery of a child under 13 and felony indecent liberties. These actions highlight ongoing federal efforts to address crimes involving illegal immigrants, particularly those targeting children.
