Federal law enforcement officials arrested a Guatemalan national in Rhode Island this week for allegedly distributing child pornography on Facebook.
State police and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials traced pornographic videos involving children to Samuel Mendez-Garcia, an illegal alien who was blocked from entering the U.S. in 2002. The Washington Times reports:

Prosecutors say that Facebook and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children reported Mendez-Garcia for the child porn videos in April and then alerted Rhode Island officials. – READ MORE
