ICE Arrests Illegal Alien and Convicted Pedo Living Inside San Diego Daycare

Libs of TikTok’s reporting is usually solid, but even we had to verify this to confirm its accuracy. ICE reportedly arrested an illegal alien and convicted pedophile who was living in a children’s daycare in San Diego. This is a sanctuary city in a sanctuary state, so it’s unlikely that ICE got any cooperation from local law enforcement.

Sure enough, it’s real. The Department of Homeland Security issued a press release on Thursday:

Yesterday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested Ezequiel Cruz-Rodriguez, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico and convicted child sex offender with an extensive history of criminal behavior and three prior removals from the U.S.

His criminal record includes convictions for sex offenses involving a child under 14, sexual battery, illegal possession of a firearm, driving under the influence, and robbery.

His wife operates a daycare operation out of their house?

According to DHS, Cruz-Rodriguez was first issued a final order of removal by an immigration judge and was removed on August 23, 1996. He was removed a second time on October 28, 2003.

Plus, he’s anti-ICE. They’re the bad guys in his mind.

We know Sen. Chris Van Hollen has a soft spot for gang members.

Remember, there’s still a large and vocal “Abolish ICE” movement with members sitting in Congress.

Editor’s Note: Democrat politicians and their radical supporters will do everything they can to interfere with and threaten ICE agents enforcing our immigration laws.
