10,000 arrested in child sex-predator probe, U.S. says

Immigration authorities have arrested more than 500 sexual predators of children in Illinois during the last four years, the sixth-highest total in the country, under a special initiative called Operation Predator, federal officials plan to announce Thursday.

Nationwide, the investigation, run by the department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, has nabbed about 10,000 child sex offenders, with 85 percent of those arrested found to be non-citizens, said ICE spokeswoman Gail Montenegro. That high percentage reflects the nature of the investigation, which focused on foreign nationals and targeted international Internet rings used by people in the U.S., she said.

More than 5,500 of those arrested around the country have been deported, she said.

In the Chicago area, those arrested included a former principal at Chicago International Charter School's West Belden campus on the Northwest Side, an Aurora police officer, a Wilmette junior high school teacher and a Chicago pediatrician -- all of them U.S. citizens who kept child pornography in their homes or solicited children for sex over the Internet, Montenegro said.

Non-citizens arrested included a 26-year-old Mexican national convicted of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old girl in Moline and a Nicaraguan national in central Indiana convicted of molesting a 6-year-old girl.

Both men served prison time and were later deported, officials said

They just want to do the jobs that Americans won't do!

Disgusting. Out with the trash. I hope they lock them up in their home countries too.

The article didn't even mention the number of pimps, whores, and sex slaves that have been busted over the last five years. Most Americans don't even know that there is a thriving sex slavery industry at work in their own country.

Something else that should be noted from the article. 10,000 were arrested but only 5500 deported. What happened to the others? Were they tried and convicted or simply released? I am sure that some are doing time in prisons around the country but some of these sexual predators were released into the community until they are caught again. These are some of the millions that our Senate wants to grant amnesty to.

No wonder Mexico doesn't want them back.

Actually, isn't that part of their culture?

Having sex with a minor is permissible in Mexico and apparently so is taking a crap in pubic.

I believe Rockfish is correct... at least about the first part. I have no idea about the second part of his statement. YUK!!!
