Little people, big crimes!
A pint-sized pedophile from Guatemala was nabbed in New Orleans by Immigration Customs and Enforcement officers and his jaw-dropping arrest photo quickly went viral Monday as commenters marveled at the height distance between the grinning migrant and the officer towering over him.
The petite predator, Cristian Soto-Galeano, was photographed with cuffs around his wrists and ankles and a big smile on his face as he stood next to an ICE agent whose back was turned to the camera.
Soto-Galeano, who stood about as tall as the officer’s waist in the pic, was previously convicted of indecent behavior with a juvenile, ICE said.
“ICE New Orleans arrested Cristian Soto-Galeano, a citizen of Guatemala,” ICE New Orleans captioned the image shared on X. “His criminal history includes a conviction for indecent behavior with a juvenile and was sentenced to 2 years in prison.”
“We stand ready to face any challenge, big or small,” the local ICE field office quipped.
It’s unclear if Soto-Galeano was in the US illegally, but the diminutive detainee is expected to be booted out of the country after his prison sentence. The Post has reached out to ICE about his status in the country.
Online commenters had a field day with the outlandish capture.
“This dude’s below the law,” one wrote.
“No need for a plane seat, just deport him back in a suitcase,” another teased.
The average height of men in Guatemala is just 5 feet 4 inches, according to Business Insider — though the smallfry convict appears to be much shorter in stature. --->READ MORE HERE
‘Any Challenge, Big Or Small’: ICE New Orleans Nabs Pocket-Sized Predator:
Federal immigration authorities successfully arrested a convicted sexual predator who is going viral online over his short stature.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) New Orleans office on Monday announced the arrest of Cristian Soto-Galeano, a Guatemalan national convicted of indecent behavior with a juvenile and sentenced to two years in prison. The agency featured an image of Soto-Galeano in their social media post about the arrest, and appeared to poke fun at the foreign national’s small size.
“SEXUAL PREDATOR ARRESTED: ICE New Orleans arrested Cristian Soto-Galeano, a citizen of Guatemala,” the X post declared. “His criminal history includes a conviction for indecent behavior with a juvenile and was sentenced to 2 years in prison.”
“We stand ready to face any challenge, big or small,” the post continued.
The X post has garnered 3,000 retweets and roughly one million views at the time of publication. Several other X accounts have also replied with memes of the image, such as posts dressing Soto-Galeano up in a clown suit or featuring him alongside well-known liberal content creators who are considered short.
An ICE spokesperson was not able to immediately provide further details on Soto-Galeano’s immigration history, but did confirm that he is an illegal migrant.
Louisiana officials, who have repeatedly passed anti-sanctuary legislation since 2024, leaned into their pro-enforcement agenda with the launch of a new cooperation agreement with federal immigration officials. Republican Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem unveiled the opening of “Louisiana Lockup” in early September, a new facility within the Louisiana State Penitentiary that expands ICE detention space by more than 400 beds. --->READ MORE HERE
