NEW YORK (PIX11) — United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested a man in New York City on Wednesday who they claim is a criminal illegal alien from Honduras.
The man, whom the Department of Homeland Security has identified as Jorge Alberto Mejia Herrera, allegedly had been previously convicted for *** acts on a child, officials say.
Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin sent the following statement to PIX11 News:
“On July 22, ICE arrested Jorge Alberto Mejia Herrera, a criminal illegal alien from Honduras. This depraved criminal illegal alien, was previously convicted in New York for forcible ***ual conduct and two or more ***ual acts on a child. On May 10, the NYPD released Herrera under the city’s disastrous sanctuary policies. Thanks to our brave ICE law enforcement, this sicko is off the streets and will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.
Secretary Noem is calling on every politician at every level of government to abandon these reckless, lawless policies and stop playing Russian roulette with American lives. DHS will continue to flood the zone in sanctuary cities and remove these criminals one by one.”
