Latest fact check

The DHS press release (Jan. 28, 2026) explicitly states ICE arrested “multiple violent criminal illegal aliens who raped children” the day before and lists named individuals convicted of sexual crimes against minors (e.g., Jesus Acosta‑Inchaurrondo: rape by force/fear and sodomy on a minor; Jaime Briseno Resendez: continuous sexual abuse of a child; Engelber Eduardo De Leon‑Hernandez: sexual abuse of a child). DHS is the primary source for the quoted claim, and contemporaneous reporting and prior court records (e.g., OC Register coverage of the Acosta‑Inchaurrondo conviction) corroborate the criminal convictions cited by DHS. Verdict: True — DHS/ICE did make that statement and identified multiple arrested individuals convicted of sexual crimes against children.
