In just one month, Dallas County jailed more than a dozen suspected illegal aliens accused of sexually abusing children.
The X account Illegal Alien Crimes documented the June arrests of 14 males who were charged with sex crimes against minors, were sent to Dallas County Jail, and had immigration detainers or “holds” issued by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Detainers are the primary immigration enforcement tool ICE uses to apprehend suspected noncitizens for possible deportation.
The accused child sexual predators range in age from 18 to 77.
Six are charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child, three are charged with sexual assault of a child, another three face charges of indecency with a child by sexual contact, and two are charged with continuous sexual abuse of a child under the age of 14.
Dallas is not the only Texas county dealing with these child predators. Suspects are scattered across the state.
A list of the 10 most wanted criminal illegal aliens in Texas, released in June by Gov. Greg Abbott, included eight men charged with sex-related crimes; six involved minors.
Some of those most-wanted criminal aliens have already been captured, and new suspects have been added to the list.
The current top 10 includes seven illegal aliens wanted for sex crimes against children.
In 2022, the Center for Immigration Studies analyzed criminal convictions in Texas and found that illegal aliens committed significantly more sexual assaults per 100,000 than the state’s overall population.
For 2019, the most recent year analyzed, the number was 17.8 sexual assault convictions per 100,000 illegal aliens compared to 10 for Texans overall—although CIS cautioned that the illegal alien conviction rate was likely underestimated.
Since then, the number of illegal aliens in the U.S. and Texas has skyrocketed, and reports of illegal aliens sexually assaulting women and children have spiked.
After two illegal aliens from Venezuela were arrested for raping and murdering 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray in Harris County last month, Texas Republicans at the state and federal level proposed stronger laws to prevent and punish similar crimes.
Both of Nungaray’s accused killers were caught illegally crossing the border in El Paso and then released by U.S. Border Patrol.
No ads. No paywalls. No government grants. No corporate masters.
Just real news for real Texans.
