Eduardo Antonio Escobar Garcia/Honduras/Molestation of a Minor

Eduardo Antonio Escobar Garcia, a citizen of Honduras and previously removed criminal alien, was deported by ICE New Orleans following his conviction for molestation of a minor. Escobar Garcia had been residing illegally in the United States when he was arrested and charged with a sex crime involving a child. He was later convicted and sentenced, with records confirming the offense involved inappropriate contact with a minor.

After serving his sentence, Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers took custody of Escobar Garcia and placed him in immigration detention. His deportation was prioritized due to the severity of his conviction and the danger he posed to the public, particularly to vulnerable children. Officials coordinated his removal with Honduran authorities, and Escobar Garcia was returned to Honduras on a designated removal flight.

ICE confirmed that Escobar Garcia had no legal right to remain in the United States following his conviction, and his removal was carried out in accordance with federal immigration laws. He is now barred from reentering the country. The removal of convicted sex offenders like Escobar Garcia continues to be a key focus for ICE in its enforcement strategy.
