A previously-deported child rapist from El Salvador was indicted on illegal reentry and child porn charges Friday, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

“José Ramón Aguilar-Moreno, 50, who recently has been living in Fontana, Calif., has been charged with four felonies: distribution of child pornography, possession of child pornography, failure to register as a sex offender, and being an illegal alien who reentered the U.S. following deportation,” an ICE press release said.

Aguilar-Moreno allegedly posted the photos to Facebook. He was arrested by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) on June 13. He has a history of illegal immigration, first entering the United States illegally in 1986. In 1995 he applied for “relief from removal,” and was generously granted asylum in the United States in 2000 by what was then known as the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS).

But in 2002, he was convicted of “committing lewd and lascivious acts on a minor.” For that crime, he was only sentenced to one year in prison. In 2003, he was deported by ICE. At some point thereafter, he illegally re-entered the United States for a second time, where he kept a low profile until 2018.

“In June 2018 Aguilar-Moreno, then residing in Fontana, allegedly knowingly distributed three videos depicting child pornography. Aguilar-Moreno used an alias, ‘Abel Aguilar,’ and posted the videos on Facebook, which later notified the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children,” the press release said.

He faces two mandatory minimum sentences if convicted on the charges: 15 years in federal prison for the distribution of child pornography, and 10 years for possession of child pornography. All told, he faces up to 80 years in prison.

Aguilar-Moreno’s arrest comes as elected officials in Washington, D.C. still have not figured out how to secure the southern border.

Big League Politics reported:

President Donald J. Trump has declared a national state of emergency, for which several heavily-blue states immediately sued his administration. Democrats refuse to budge on the issue, unwilling to secure America’s borders. As illegal border crossings surge, they blocked a meaningful amount of wall funding in the 2019 federal budget.

Even Republicans on Capitol Hill have faltered.

In what many conservatives see as a colossal failure, the Republican Congress, led by former Speaker Paul Ryan, current Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, failed to deliver wall funding to the president’s desk during all of 2017 and 2018, when Republicans held the House, the Senate, and the White House.
