A Mexican national living in the United States illegally was sentenced to more than 10 years in prison for distributing and receiving child pornography on Facebook, the Justice Department announced.

Adolfo Raul Vasquez-Santana, 32, of Southaven, Mississippi, was sentenced to 121 months in prison followed by five years of supervised release for using Facebook Messenger to send and receive child sexual abuse material. The court also ordered him to pay $14,000 in penalties.

Local police began investigating after receiving a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Homeland Security Investigations, a division of ICE, pursued federal charges after determining that Vasquez-Santana was living in the United States illegally.

ICE placed an immigration detainer on Vasquez-Santana, and he is expected to face deportation after completing his prison sentence, according to authorities.

“HSI is committed to protecting children from predators who use technology to exploit them. When we received information about Vasquez-Santana, our agents acted quickly to investigate, arrest, and bring this individual to justice. We remain vigilant against child predators and will continue to pursue these offenders wherever they operate,” Matt Wright, acting Special Agent in Charge for HSI New Orleans, said.

“Our partners at Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) will ensure that once the defendant completes his federal sentence, he is removed from the United States and unable to pose further risk to our communities,” he added.

The case was prosecuted as part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that the Justice Department says “marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration” and “achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations.”

Authorities said the case was also pursued under Project Safe Childhood, a national initiative established to fight sexual exploitation of children.

“Child pornography is a plague,” U.S. Attorney Leary said. “Children are victimized not only through the production of obscene material, but through its continual distribution. Somehow, this debauchery has gained a foothold in our society. We need the public’s help. Please, when you see something troubling, let law enforcement know – we will respond.”

Another illegal alien off our streets and on his way out for good after doing his time. Good work by HSI and ICE. 

Deport them all.

Venezuelan illegal alien gang leader arrested in Calif. on immigration charges

Yonaiker Gallegos

The border mess just keeps delivering gut punches, and this one’s a doozy. According to the Trump administration, as told to Fox News on Monday, a Venezuelan illegal alien—alleged big shot in the ultra-violent Tren de Aragua gang—got nabbed in Los Angeles last week. 

Yonaiker [rhymes with yarmulka] Gallegos, who was slinking around under the alias “Yoniaker Rafel Martinez-Ramos” (nice try, pal), was already cooling his heels in LA County lockup on misdemeanor charges for blank checks and toting a fake government ID. 

Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) sniffed him out on April 22, per a senior Trump official. They got wise to his “Martinez-Ramos” charade after eyeballing the junk he had on him when local cops scooped him up. 

By April 23, HSI’s National Gang Unit had the goods—tattoo pics and booking photos that screamed, “Yup, this is Gallegos.” They even dug up his social media, where this genius was apparently dumb enough to post his real face. Facial recognition tech sealed the deal, confirming he’s Yonaiker Gallegos, not some wannabe with a bad alias.

They always catch the dumb ones.

And get this: Fox News got a video from his social media where he’s allegedly flexing grenades and a rifle like he’s auditioning for a cartel flick [see photo above].

Real brain trust, this guy. You won't run into him at any Mensa meeting.

HSI Los Angeles teamed up with state and local badges to haul Gallegos into federal custody on April 25 for Title 8 immigration violations. The senior official didn’t mince words: he was “identified as a leader of TDA based in California.” ICE backed it up, confirming the arrest.

So, here we are—another day, another dangerous thug who shouldn’t be here in the first place, allegedly running a gang show in our backyard. If this doesn’t scream “fix the damn border,” I don’t know what does.

Meanwhile, the Democrats still want to impeach Trump. Maybe it's because they're hiding something.
