The White House released a press release titled:

“Democrats Empower Sick Criminal Illegal Alien Predators to Prey on American Women, Children”

The April 10, 2026 statement outlines the Trump Administration’s position on immigration enforcement and ongoing efforts to deport individuals accused of violent crimes. Within the release, one case in Georgia was specifically highlighted.

Georgia Case Cited in Federal Statement

According to the press release, Kenneth Moreno Guzman, described as a Mexican national, has been charged in connection with the alleged rape of an 11-year-old girl during a home invasion in Georgia.

The statement alleges the suspect entered the home through a back door and committed the assault while the victim’s younger sibling was present in the room. Federal officials also noted the individual had previously been removed from the United States.

WASHINGTON — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged an arrest detainer on Kenneth Moreno Guzman, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, who is charged with the rape of an 11-year-old girl while her 10-year-old sister was in the room and threatened with a knife in Georgia. According to the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office, Guzman forcibly broke into a back door of a family’s home on January 12, 2025, and proceeded to rape an 11-year-old girl and held her 10-year-old sister at knifepoint.

“Another horrific tragedy for two innocent children by the hands of a criminal illegal alien. This monster should have never been in our country in the first place,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “These are the victims President Trump and Secretary Noem are fighting for and the media and sanctuary politicians ignore. We have lodged an arrest detainer to ensure ICE is notified to arrest this creep before he can prey on more innocent children.” 

Guzman faces multiple charges including rape, statutory rape, aggravated child molestation, aggravated sodomy, cruelty towards children, home invasion, false imprisonment, burglary, aggravated assault with a knife. He was previously arrested by local law enforcement. On March 8, 2023, Moreno Guzman was arrested by the Statesboro Georgia Sheriff’s Office for driving without a license and registration.

He illegally entered the U.S. in 2016 and was removed. He chose to commit a felony by illegally re-entering the United States at an unknown date and location.

DHS law enforcement is protecting American communities every day from another senseless tragedy like this taking place in another town, to another family.

Broader Context of the Release

The White House statement included multiple cases from across the country, citing incidents in states such as Florida, North Carolina, Texas, Ohio, New York, and Virginia. The administration used the examples to argue for increased funding and support for immigration enforcement efforts, particularly for the Department of Homeland Security.

The release also criticizes congressional Democrats over immigration policy and funding decisions tied to border security and deportation operations.

Full Release:

President Donald J. Trump and his Administration are moving with decisive force to secure our borders and rapidly deport dangerous criminal illegal aliens. Democrats in Congress, however, are attempting to sabotage these efforts as they block critical funding for the Department of Homeland Security and shield sanctuary jurisdictions that harbor these monsters — leaving Americans defenseless against horrific violence and attacks.

In just the first months of 2026, the Trump Administration has arrested scores of depraved illegal alien killers, rapists, and violent sexual predators who were enabled, protected, and unleashed by the Radical Left’s open borders agenda — policies Democrats are desperate to restore.

• Kenneth Moreno Guzman, a Mexican illegal alien, is charged with the horrific rape of an 11-year-old girl in Georgia while holding her 10-year-old sister at knifepoint in the same room. This sick monster broke into the family’s home through the back door, then raped the young girl in front of her terrified little sister. The predator, who had been previously removed from the country, later told police he was “attracted” to the child.
• Samuel Antonio Maldonado-Erazo, a Honduran illegal alien, is charged with the savage first-degree murder of his own three-year-old U.S. citizen nephew in Florida. This sick monster beat the toddler to death with at least 17 strikes to the head, plus extensive bruising, intentional burns, a broken collarbone, a transected pancreas, multiple broken ribs (one completely detached from the spine), and signs of possible sexual abuse. Previously deported, he illegally re-entered and was released into the country under the Biden Administration.
• Zaid Mayen-Esteban and Jonathan David Garcia-Larios, two Mexican illegal aliens, are charged in a sickening torture and brutal home invasion in North Carolina. These depraved monsters broke into the victim’s home, restrained him at knifepoint, sodomized him, and ripped off his fingernails in a grotesque act of pure evil. One of these animals had already been deported in 2024 before illegally re-entering to commit this nightmare.
• Francisco Mendez-Marin, a Mexican illegal alien, is charged with the brutal murder of his newlywed wife in Texas just weeks after their marriage. The depraved killer slit her throat with a pocketknife, then casually told police he “didn’t do anything bad” and “was obligated to do it.”
• Cristian Nunez-Guzman, a Mexican illegal alien, is charged with raping and sexually assaulting two young girls in Ohio — including a girl with special needs. This sick predator, previously deported in 2012 after drug convictions, preyed on the most vulnerable.
• Carlos Aguilar Reynoso, a Guatemalan illegal alien, is charged with the horrific rape of a five-year-old girl he was babysitting in New York. The innocent child, whose mother returned home to discover blood in her underwear, suffered such severe internal injuries that she required surgery.
• Misael Lopez Gomez, a Guatemalan illegal alien, is charged with the cold-blooded murder of his own three-month-old daughter in Virginia. This heartless monster, who was released into the country under the Biden Administration, allegedly killed the infant through blunt force trauma.
• Abdul Jalloh, a Sierra Leonean illegal alien, is charged with the random, savage murder of a mother at a bus stop in Virginia. This vicious thug — who allegedly stabbed the innocent woman more than 30 times — has dozens of prior arrests for violent crimes.
• Bairon Alexander Posada-Hernandez, a Honduran illegal alien, is charged with murder after shoving an 83-year-old Air Force veteran and another innocent bystander onto the New York City subway tracks. This career criminal — whose unprovoked attack left the veteran dead — was on the streets of the sanctuary city despite four prior deportations and 15 prior criminal charges.

These horrific crimes are the direct and deadly result of Radical Left policies that prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens. President Trump demands Democrats immediately fund DHS to continue removing these savage threats from our communities.

In this Administration, American lives come first.

Ongoing National Debate

The issue of immigration enforcement remains a central topic in national political debate, with differing perspectives on border policy, public safety, and federal funding priorities.
