U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is working to save the children. Not only are they committed to catching child predators who have illegally entered the nation, but they are also posting these criminals’ pictures online and warning other predators that they will be caught and arrested.
On Tuesday, ICE posted the images of three convicted child predators with the message that others are being hunted down.

Of the cases highlighted on Tuesday, it was that of Martin Duarte that ICE truly blasted. This convicted child sex offender from Mexico had been sentenced to 10 years in prison for molesting a child, but the punishment was deferred by a community supervisor.
ICE officials wrote on X, “An El Paso judge let this predator alien off the hook easy, but our ICE officers didn’t let him slip away. We will continue to arrest predators, one by one, to protect our nation’s most vulnerable.”
An ICE Newsroom update confirmed that 32 child predators who entered the U.S. illegally were caught in June. A total of 1,361 criminal aliens were arrested last month, including gang members, drug traffickers, and one criminal who hijacked an airplane.
ICE officials summed up their mission in a post that displayed the difficulties of catching criminals who illegally enter the U.S. while facing backlash in contentious communities. “When violent rioters vandalized federal property and burned an American flag outside our Portland facility, ICE raised a new flag.”
