ICE: Previously Deported Illegal Alien Indicted on Child Porn Charges in California
An illegal alien allegedly committed child sex crimes.
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.
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.

Biden DHS Secretary to Illegal Immigrants: “We’re Not Saying ‘Don’t Come,’ We’re Saying ‘Don’t Come Now'”
Did he just endorse illegal immigration?
Alejandro Mayorkas, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, appeared at Monday’s White House press briefing to give an overview of what he and the DHS are doing to “replace the cruelty” of the Trump administration’s immigration processes and to take questions from reporters.
In response to a reporter’s question about how he was going to rebuild the DHS and reunite families, Mayorkas began by saying that they are “progressing every single day” on building a system to accept “asylum seekers”—read: illegal immigrants—through ports of entry.
“We are progressing every single day. I don’t have a particular timeline, but all I can do is communicate, both to the American public and to the individuals seeking protection, that we are working around the clock seven days a week to make that timeframe as short as possible, but they need to wait. But they need to wait with a particular goal in mind. We are not saying ‘don’t come,’ we are saying ‘don’t come now,’ because we will be able to deliver a safe and orderly process to them as quickly as possible. There have been, I understand, approximately 105 families reunited in the recent past. That is through the extraordinary efforts of counsel and others in the community. We are joining with counsel, with members of the community to work on this.”
Another reporter asked Mayorkas if he thought there was a crisis at the border, to which he replied: “I think that the answer is no. I think there is a challenge at the border that we are managing, and we have our resources dedicated to managing it.” Despite the reporter’s pushback on his claim, Mayorkas reiterated that his team was working “around the clock” to address the issues confronting the DHS and that the level of illegal immigrants coming across the border constitutes a challenge, not a crisis.
Big League Politics has covered Mayorkas closely since his nomination to DHS secretary by Joe Biden. He previously said he would stop construction of the border wall and that he was unsure what he’d do with the amount of wall already built.
