ICE-led investigation leads to repeat offender’s guilty plea for possessing child sexual abuse material

TRENTON, N.J. — A New Jersey man admitted to possessing images of child sexual abuse material following an investigation led by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigations.

John Mangan, 78, of Lanoka Harbor, pleaded guilty June 10 to an information charging him with one count of possession of child pornography at the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey in Trenton.

“Mangan is a prior convicted sex offender with depraved desires that fuel the hideous market of online child sexual exploitation and abuse ICE Homeland Security Investigations vows to dismantle,” said ICE HSI Newark Special Agent in Charge Ricky Patel. “The success in this investigation is the tips we received led to the justice that will now be served on behalf of all the innocent minors who are targeted by these disturbed predators. Anytime a person suspects that someone is exploiting or abusing a child, they should notify law enforcement authorities as soon as possible.”

According to the investigation, on Oct. 29, 2024, ICE HSI special agents executed a search warrant at Mangan’s residence in Lanoka Harbor and discovered an electronic device containing over 250 images of children being sexually abused. Mangan was previously convicted of sexual offenses involving minors, including a New Jersey conviction for sexual assault against a minor for conduct that occurred while Mangan was a school principal, and a prior federal conviction for possession of child pornography.

The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office and Lacey Township Police Department assisted HSI Newark in the investigation.

Because Mangan has been previously convicted of certain qualifying offenses, the count of possession of child pornography carries an enhanced mandatory minimum penalty of 10 years in prison, a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, and a fine of $250,000. Sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 21.

HSI is at the forefront of the U.S. government’s efforts to combat online child sexual exploitation and abuse through its investigations, victim assistance programs, intelligence and analysis, policy development, and training and awareness programs.

For any child, parent, guardian of New Jersey, searching for resources and information on how to prevent and combat online child sexual exploitation, go to Know2Protect.gov. If you suspect a child might be a victim, please call the ICE Tip Line at 866-DHS-2-ICE (866-347-2423).

Know2Protect is a national public awareness campaign from the Department of Homeland Security. K2P’s aim is to educate and empower children, teens, parents, trusted adults, and policymakers to prevent, combat, and report online child sexual exploitation and abuse.

ICE, local partners arrest 6-time removed MS-13 gang member wanted for murder following manhunt near Colony Ridge

HOUSTON – U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office arrested a six-time removed criminal alien and MS-13 gang member from El Salvador Feb. 24 just hours after he allegedly murdered a Houston-area man in the Colony Ridge sub-division in Plum Grove, Texas.

Luis Miguel Perez-Miranda, a 34-year-old Salvadoran national, was apprehended following a manhunt by authorities in Dayton, Texas, and was taken to the Liberty County Jail.

“Despite attempts by some to spread false information and rumors about the brave men and women who work for ICE, they continue to come in to work every day and put their own lives at risk to make our communities safer,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Houston Field Office Director Bret Bradford. “Without their incredible sacrifice and commitment to execute their mission at the highest level, this dangerous MS-13 gang member who allegedly butchered an innocent man earlier in the day would still be at-large in the community posing a potential threat to every Houstonian he encountered.”

“The residents in Southeast Texas can rest easier knowing this dangerous transnational gang member has been removed from the community and is safely in custody,” said ICE Homeland Security Investigations Houston Special Agent in Charge Chad Plantz. “Thanks to the close relationships we have with our federal, state and local law enforcement partners, we were able to quickly apprehend him within a matter of hours before he could endanger anyone else in the area.”

Perez-Miranda has illegally entered the U.S. at least seven times and was expelled from the U.S. under Title 42 in August 2021, and removed to El Salvador in September 2009, August 2014, July 2016, March 2019, and March 2023. Perez-Miranda has also been convicted of drug trafficking, drug possession, and twice for illegally entry while he was illegally present in the U.S.

ICE, local partners arrest criminal illegal alien allegedly selling cocaine out of Virginia barbershop

Criminal illegal alien from Dominican Republic possessed firearms, ammunition

NORTH CHESTERFIELD, Va. — In a joint operation, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations, ICE Homeland Security Investigations and Virginia State Police arrested a criminal illegal alien from the Dominican Republic who was reportedly selling cocaine at a local barber shop. ICE Washington, D.C. officers and the Virgina State Police arrested Alis Deyvi Goris-Andujar, 38, after a brief foot pursuit in North Chesterfield Nov. 11.

A search of Goris-Andujar’s residence yielded two illegal firearms. One was an AR-type rifle, and the other was a pistol with high-capacity magazines. ICE seized the weapons and processed Goris-Andujar for immigration violations, serving him a notice to appear before a Justice Department immigration judge.

“Alis Deyvi Goris-Andujar's arrest shows the strength of cooperation with our federal and state law enforcement partners,” said ICE Washington, D.C. Field Office Director Robert Guadian. “Goris-Andujar represents a significant threat to our Virginia communities that will not be tolerated. He was unlawfully in possession of two firearms while allegedly selling poison in our community. We will continue to prioritize public safety by arresting and removing criminal alien offenders from Washington, D.C. and Virginia.”

Goris-Andujar illegally entered the United States on an unknown date, at an unknown location, without being inspected, admitted or paroled by a U.S. immigration official.

ICE and Virginia State Police officers arrested Goris-Andujar in North Chesterfield Nov. 11. He is expected to remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.

ICE lodges arrest detainer for criminal illegal alien who killed 3 in California while driving 18-wheeler under the influence

Singh first entered the US in 2022 through the southern border and was RELEASED into the country under the Biden Administration

LOS ANGELES - ICE lodged an arrest detainer for Jashanpreet Singh, a criminal illegal alien from India, responsible for taking the lives of three individuals and several more injured in a DUI accident in San Bernadino County, California.

On October 22, ICE lodged an immigration detainer for Jashanpreet Sing following his arrest by local authorities in San Bernadino County, California on charges of vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and driving under the influence. Dash camera footage captured the crash.

Singh first entered the U.S. in 2022 through the southern border and was RELEASED into the country under the Biden administration.

“Loopholes that allow illegal aliens to operate deadly commercial vehicles on the streets of the United States must be closed immediately," said Los Angeles Enforcement and Removal Operations Acting Field Office Director Andre Quinones. " Tragedies like this are 100% preventable, and we will ensure that those who break our laws and endanger lives are held accountable. Criminals like Jashanpreet Singh will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and removed from our country to protect the safety of the American people.”

Earlier this week, ICE lodged a separate detainer for a criminal illegal alien who was operating a semi-truck and struck and killed another driver.

These tragedies follow a disturbing pattern of criminal illegal aliens driving commercial vehicles on American roads, directly threatening public safety.

DHS law enforcement is protecting American communities every day from another senseless tragedy like this taking place in another town, to another family. Victims of illegal alien crime may receive support from the Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) Office by contacting 1-855-488-6423.

ICE lodges detainer against Honduran charged with murder

This criminal illegal alien has been deported 3 times

SAN ANTONIO — ICE San Antonio lodged an immigration detainer against Jose Fredi Rivera-Mejia aka Wilfredo Lopez, 44, a criminal illegal alien from Honduras Aug. 11, who was arrested and charged with murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Rivera-Mejia has been removed from the United States three times previously.

On Aug. 10, at nearly midnight, the San Antonio Police Department was called to a disturbance where Rivera-Mejia produced a handgun and shot multiple victims, then fled the scene with three children. Officers located and arrested him moments later, with the three children, unharmed, in the vehicle. Police charged him with murder and two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and arrested him in the early morning of Aug. 11. Additional charges are pending as two other victims remain in critical condition.

“Criminal aliens present in the U.S. pose a significant threat to our public safety and our citizens,” said Enforcement and Removal Operations San Antonio Field Office Director Miguel Vergara. “We will continue to do everything in our power to prevent tragedies like this from occurring and working with our local law enforcement partners so criminals are not released back into our communities.”

Rivera-Mejia was encountered by ICE officers on Nov. 14, 2009, after being arrested in San Antonio for assault. An immigration judge ordered him removed from the U.S. on Jan. 29, 2010. ICE removed him to Honduras Feb. 9, 2010. Rivera-Mejia illegally reentered the U.S. at an unknown date and time and was encountered by ICE officers on Dec. 31, 2012, after being arrested in San Antonio for driving while intoxicated. ICE took custody of Rivera-Mejia, reinstated the removal order, and removed him to Honduras on Jan. 21, 2013. On July 1, 2015, U.S. Border Patrol apprehended Rivera-Mejia close to Eagle Pass, Texas. He admitted to entering the U.S. illegally on June 29, 2015. He was transferred to ICE custody and charged with 8 USC 1325 illegal entry. He was found guilty on July 30, 2015, and removed to Honduras for a third time on Aug. 10, 2015.

Rivera-Mejia most recently entered the U.S. illegally at an unknown date and location.

ICE lodges detainer against illegal alien who murdered a teenage girl after she rejected his sexual advances

The previously deported criminal alien has history of drunk driving in the US

NEW YORK — ICE New York City lodged an immigration detainer with the New York City Department of Corrections against the release of 38-year-old illegal alien Jose Edwin Cruz Gomez on Sept. 15. Cruz is an illegal alien from Honduras who was arrested by the New York City Police Department for murder, attempted murder, assault, vehicular manslaughter and several other felony crimes after he mowed down a 16-year-old, her mother, and her stepfather with his vehicle after the teenager refused his drunken, lewd advances on Sept. 13. The collision killed the young girl and injured her mother.

“Another young family is dealing with an unimaginable and all-too-preventable tragedy due to soft-on-crime sanctuary policies and prior open-border policies that let criminal aliens pour into our country with impunity,” said acting ICE Director Todd M. Lyons. “The days of criminal aliens being given carte blanche to harm innocent people are over. These violent offenders will face the full force of the law and then be expeditiously removed from the U.S.”

Cruz illegally entered the U.S. near Nogales, Arizona, Nov. 10, 2004. On April 20, 2005, an immigration judge denied his applications for asylum and withholding of removal, granting him voluntary departure until June 20, 2005, with an alternate order of removal. On May 20, 2005, Cruz filed an appeal with the Board of Immigration Appeals, but it dismissed his appeal, vacated his voluntary departure, and remanded his case back to immigration court, where a judge ordered him removed from the U.S.

At some point thereafter, Cruz illegally reentered the U.S. ICE officers encountered him on April 29, 2013, after his arrest on Long Island for DUI. ICE officers took custody of him the same day pursuant to an immigration detainer and reinstatement of his deportation order. He was released from ICE detention on July 1, 2013, for enrollment into the Alternatives to Detention Program. Cruz subsequently absconded and all attempts to locate him were unsuccessful.

Cruz racked up additional arrests for possession of a forged instrument (October 2024); disorderly conduct: creating hazardous or physically offensive conditions; attempted driving while; and attempted operation of a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content of .08% or more (January 2025). Each time, he was released from custody before ICE could lodge a detainer or ICE officers were prevented from apprehending him because he didn’t meet the Biden Administration’s priority for immigration enforcement.

ICE lodges detainer on criminal illegal alien accused of brutally murdering co-worker with sledgehammer in Texas

The accused murderer, who illegally entered the U.S. in 2023 and was recklessly released into the country by the Biden administration, was arrested driving around in the victim’s vehicle

HOUSTON — ICE lodged an immigration detainer with the Harris County Jail April 13 on Josue Abraham Chirino-Leonice, a 19-year-old criminal illegal alien from Venezuela who was recklessly released into the country by the Biden administration, following his arrest for allegedly beating a co-worker to death with a sledgehammer.

Local law enforcement arrested Chirino-Leonice on April 12 in Pasadena, after he was reportedly found driving around in the victim’s vehicle.

“This criminal illegal alien — who never should have been allowed into the country in the first place — is accused of savagely beating a co-worker to death with a sledgehammer and leaving him to die in a house they were renovating together,” said ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations Houston acting Field Office Director Gabriel Martinez. “Our officers are working tirelessly to restore integrity to our nation’s immigration system to bring an end to the carnage and unnecessary suffering in this country that’s caused by criminal illegal aliens, and we won’t rest until we’ve accomplished that mission.”

The U.S. Border Patrol first arrested Chirino-Leonice in November 2023. The Biden administration subsequently released him into the interior of the country.

The Trump administration is committed to restoring common sense and sanity to our nation’s immigration system. Under President Donald J. Trump and Secretary Markwayne Mullin, the Department of Homeland Security will not gamble with the safety of Americans and our national security – as previous administrations have done – by allowing murderers, child rapists, gang members and other dangerous criminal illegal aliens to remain in our communities unvetted and unchecked.

Immediately upon reassuming office, President Trump issued two executive orders entitled Protecting the American People from Invasion and Protecting the United States From Foreign Terrorists and Other National Security and Public Safety Threats that together empowered ICE officers to once again enforce our nation’s immigration laws without political interference and aggressively target criminal illegal aliens like Chirinio-Leonice.

ICE lodges immigration detainer against criminal illegal alien accused of negligent vehicular manslaughter in California

The 21-year-old illegal alien, charged with killing an innocent 59-year-old motorist, was released into the US under the Biden administration

SANTA ANA, Calif. — ICE lodged an immigration detainer against Darwin Felipe Bahamon Martinez, a 21-year-old criminal illegal alien from Colombia accused of killing one and injuring another while leading Anaheim police on a high-speed chase.

“Bahamon Martinez illegally entered the U.S. near Chula Vista, California, in August 2023,” said ICE Los Angeles field office leadership. “He was released into the U.S. under the Biden administration’s so-called ‘catch-and-release’ policies, but if that hadn’t happened, the innocent 59-year-old driver he allegedly killed may still be alive today.”

During the three-minute pursuit, Bahamon Martinez struck two vehicles — one driven by the now-deceased victim and another driven by an 83-year-old woman who was treated for minor injuries.

Bahamon Martinez, who entered the U.S. illegally, is currently in the Orange County Jail awaiting criminal proceedings on his homicide charge. ICE lodged an immigration detainer against him Jan. 22. If local officials in Gavin Newsom’s sanctuary California choose to release Bahamon Martinez into the community, they will put ALL Californians at risk.

California must honor our immigration detainer. Otherwise, ICE will be forced to re-arrest this criminal illegal alien at-large. At-large arrests are significantly more dangerous than custody transfers are because they require ICE officers to arrest unpredictable criminal illegal aliens in public settings.

ICE lodges immigration detainer against criminal illegal alien who allegedly abused and violently murdered 3-year-old nephew

The child’s mother abandoned the toddler with her brother when she was deported in February

WASHINGTON — ICE has lodged an immigration detainer against Samuel Antonio Maldonado-Erazo, a criminal illegal alien accused of violently abusing and then murdering his three-year-old nephew March 4. Maldonado-Erazo’s sister, Wendy Esther Hernandez Reyes, was the little boy’s mother; she was removed from the U.S. Jan. 26 and chose not to take her U.S. citizen child with her.

“This crime is absolutely sickening,” said ICE Director Todd M. Lyons. “This little boy suffered extensively and died when his mother abandoned him to Maldonado-Erazo’s ‘care’ — and Maldonado-Erazo himself is an illegal alien who never should’ve been in this country in the first place. I encourage parents to self-deport with their children, but even if they choose not to do that, ICE gives them the opportunity to be removed with their kids. But despite that option, Reyes chose to leave her son here with a violent murderer who took his life.”

ICE encountered Maldonado-Erazo March 5 in Florida at the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Jail after his arrest. He illegally entered the U.S. in August 2021, under the Biden administration’s catastrophic catch-and-release policies, and was released into the country with his own daughter, a Honduran national. Maldonado-Erazo’s wife has been taken into custody, and their three children — two of whom are U.S. citizens — are in the custody of the Florida Department of Child Services.

The three-year-old child’s injuries were consistent with sustained abuse. According to local reports, Maldonado-Erazo brought the child to work with him and ignored signs that the little boy was in extreme distress. The child died at the hospital after someone called 911 to report that he was in cardiac arrest. Escambia County Sheriff Chip Simmons said the child’s injuries included at least 17 strikes to the head, extensive bruising, intentional burns, a broken collarbone, a transected pancreas from blunt trauma, and several broken ribs — one of which was completely detached from his spine.

Maldonado-Erazo did not have a criminal history in the U.S. prior to his arrest for murdering his nephew — other than entering the U.S. illegally — but is now charged with manslaughter. ICE has lodged an immigration detainer against him with the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office and is determined to remove him if or when he is released from custody.
