U.S. Representative Greg Steube of Florida has taken a strong stance in demanding accountability from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regarding the recent arrest of Santo Felix Cruz-Ramos, a 25-year-old illegal immigrant from Honduras. Following Cruz-Ramos' arrest on charges of sexual battery in Englewood, Florida, Rep. Steube sent a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, seeking detailed information on the case.

In his letter, Rep. Steube expressed concern over the Biden administration's immigration policies, stating, "Thanks to Joe Biden and Alejandro Mayorkas, the world’s criminals know they can easily enter our country and terrorize our citizens." He emphasized the need for transparency regarding Cruz-Ramos' immigration history, entry into the United States, and interactions with U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials.

Rep. Steube's request to DHS included detailed inquiries about Cruz-Ramos' case history, immigration status, and any previous criminal charges against him. The Representative highlighted the importance of ensuring the safety and security of Florida residents, particularly in light of the alarming number of criminal aliens being apprehended by Customs and Border Patrol.

Furthermore, Rep. Steube's actions go beyond this specific case, as he is a cosponsor of a resolution to impeach DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Citing concerns over Mayorkas' handling of the border crisis, Rep. Steube previously voted in favor of impeaching the Secretary.

The letter sent by Rep. Steube to DHS underscores the ongoing debate surrounding immigration policies and border security in the United States. As the investigation into Santo Felix Cruz-Ramos continues, Rep. Steube remains steadfast in his efforts to hold the Biden administration accountable for its immigration enforcement measures.
