An illegal alien from Mexico who previously served an eight-year prison sentence in the U.S. for aggravated criminal sexual assault in Houston, Texas was caught illegally re-entering the United States. Court documents reveal he has previously illegally re-entered the U.S. on multiple occasions, but U.S. authorities are set to simply deport him again without any consequences.
Rolando Esparza-Reyes was referred to in a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) press release by the politically-correct term “undocumented immigrant,” rather than the legal term “illegal alien.” The press release only mentions that Esparza-Reyes had been previously deported and had served an 8-year U.S. prison sentence for aggravated criminal sexual assault he committed in Houston, Texas.
The CBP press release indicated that Esparza-Reyes may simply be deported again: “Esparza-Reyes faces a charge of illegal entry – 8 USC 1326 – and his prior order of removal will be reinstated.”
In a telephone interview with Breitbart News, a spokesman for the CPB stated: “He has served his time for his crimes in the U.S., so all we can do is deport him.”
The terminology in the CBP press release was clarified further in a telephone interview I conducted with Shawn Moran, vice president of the National Border Patrol Council, the union for U.S. Border Patrol agents who work under the CBP. He stated: “When an order of deportation is reinstated, it’s little more than aglorified voluntary return, resulting in the illegal alien simply being returned back to Mexico without having to see a judge.”
In-depth research on Esparza-Reyes puts his deportation in perhaps a more concerning light. Esparza-Reyes was caught entering the U.S. and was deported prior to 2003. He then re-entered again in 2003 and was sentenced to 18 months in a U.S. facility for re-entering the country illegally,according to court documents. He was then deported again. He almost immediately illegally re-entered the U.S. and committed the aggravated criminal sexual assault in Houston, Texas for which he was sentenced to prison. After serving an eight-year sentence in the U.S., he almost immediately illegally re-entered the country again and was caught.
An email was sent to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) concerning the new information discovered about Esparza-Reyes. The questions submitted pertained to whether the agency had considered the risk to U.S. citizens that this convicted sexual predator poses — especially considering his clear intention to continue illegally re-entering the U.S. I also inquired as to why illegally re-entering deserved an 18-month sentence in 2003 but now only results in a deportation. No response has been received from the CBP at the time of this article’s publication.
