Immigration and Customs Enforcement is urging Dallas County to honor a detainer request lodged against an illegal alien accused of possessing child pornography, according to a press release exclusively obtained by Blaze News.
Orvin Bayardo Fuentes Borjas, 24, was arrested by the Irving Police Department and booked into the Dallas County jail system on March 6 after he was charged with possession of child pornography — over 50 visual depictions, a first-degree felony.
‘Every single day, ICE is working to remove criminal illegal aliens like this sicko arrested for possession of 50 child pornography images.’
Fuentes Borjas’ bond was set at $100,000.
The Irving Journal, a local news outlet, reported that a tip about Fuentes Borjas’ alleged online activity led to his arrest.
A press release from the Department of Homeland Security revealed that ICE issued an arrest detainer against Fuentes Borjas. ICE is urging Dallas County not to release the suspect from local custody to allow agents time to transfer him to federal custody.

The DHS described Fuentes Borjas as an illegal alien from Honduras.
“He was booked into Dallas County Jail, where he will remain until ICE takes him into custody,” the agency wrote.
The DHS claimed that the suspect previously failed to show up for his immigration hearing and was issued a final order of removal on February 3, 2020.

“Every single day, ICE is working to remove criminal illegal aliens like this sicko arrested for possession of 50 child pornography images. ICE asked Dallas to not release this pedophile from jail back into Texas communities,” DHS acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said.
Bis stated that under President Donald Trump and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin’s leadership, “ICE law enforcement will not allow criminal illegal aliens to prey on innocent children.”
The Dallas County Sheriff’s Office does not participate in ICE’s 287(g) partnership program, according to ICE’s website. However, Texas law requires law enforcement agencies to comply with ICE detainer requests.
“To keep predators like these out of our communities, it is imperative that local law enforcement works with ICE — Irving did its job here, but more must be done to ramp up removals. Municipalities across the board participating in the 287(g) Task Force program would be the surest way to make that a reality,” Irving City Council member Luis Canosa told Blaze News.
The Irving Police Department declined to comment. The Dallas County Sheriff’s Office did not respond to a request for comment.
