U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has placed a detainer on a Cuban national charged with sexually assaulting a female passenger during what should have been a routine Lyft ride to a doctor's appointment. The horrific case perfectly illustrates why President Trump's mass deportation operations are not just necessary - they're a matter of public safety.
The Cuban driver, whose immigration status reveals he should never have been in the country legally, now faces both criminal charges for the sexual assault and deportation proceedings. This is exactly the kind of predatory criminal that Trump's ICE teams are targeting in their expanded enforcement operations.
Think about this for a moment, Patriots - a woman simply trying to get to her medical appointment becomes the victim of a violent sexual crime by someone who shouldn't even be in our country. How many more Americans have to suffer because our immigration system failed them?
This Is Why Elections Matter
Under the Biden regime, cases like this were swept under the rug while Democrats prioritized "sanctuary" policies over American safety. Now, with Trump back in the White House and his team executing the largest deportation operation in U.S. history, ICE is finally doing its job.
Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has made it crystal clear that criminal aliens will be the top priority for removal. This Cuban predator represents exactly the kind of threat that Democrats ignored while virtue-signaling about "compassion" - compassion for criminals, not for their American victims.
"Every single day we delay on deportations, more Americans become victims of preventable crimes," one immigration enforcement source told reporters.
The rideshare industry has become a hunting ground for predators who exploit the trust of vulnerable passengers. When those predators are also illegal aliens, it represents a complete failure of our immigration system that Trump is now working to fix.
How many more American women will be assaulted by criminals who should have been deported years ago? The Trump administration's answer is clear: not one more if they can help it.
