Four men who slipped into the U.S. illegally and committed various sex crimes against children have been tracked down by ICE agents and arrested in Newark.

That brings the total number of arrests of criminal illegal aliens for child exploitation to eight since July 21, according to officials with the Homeland Security Investigations Newark office.

ICE has been conducting ongoing operations in New Jersey and targeting individuals with a criminal record for detention and deportation.

In this latest action, the four individuals taken into custody are:

According to an ICE statement, “Garcia, Loja and Rivera entered the United States at an unknown date through an unknown location without inspection or parole from an immigration officer.”
