Illegal aliens arrested for allegedly molesting minor on cruise; DHS Sec. Noem says one has HIV


Florida police said that two illegal aliens were arrested on Friday for allegedly molesting a teenager on a Royal Caribbean cruise off the coast of Miami.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said that one of the illegal aliens has an HIV infection and that officials are working on deporting both.

'We WILL get these sickos out of our country.'

"One of them has HIV. Both have ICE detainers on them. We WILL get these sickos out of our country," she posted on social media.

Jose Prudencio Diaz, 36, and Ricardo Daniel Mondragon Leal, 37, are alleged to have exposed themselves to a 14-year-old boy on the Independence of the Seas cruise, according to a report from the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office.

The victim told police he was in a sauna with the pair when they began to masturbate in front of him and then forced him to touch them. Police said Leal then forced the boy to perform a sex act.

Police said the two were detained without incident. Leal was charged with sexual battery of a minor while Diaz was charged with having sex with another person without disclosing his HIV infection. Both were charged with exhibition on a child as well as lewd and lascivious molestation on a child.

A judge denied bond for both in a hearing on Saturday.

Royal Caribbean did not respond immediately to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

The two were originally from Mexico.

Noem has said that border enforcement is one of the top priorities of the administration.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
