It’s the kind of horror story that can’t be ignored.
As facts surface on the illegal immigrant accused of raping a young school girl in Kansas, voters are seeing first hand why border security is so important.
The story proves supporters of President-elect Donald Trump are right — it is increasingly obvious America needs a border wall.
The Horn News first reported in October that Tomas Martinez-Maldonado, the accused sexual predator, had been deported back to Mexico an incredible 10 times, but kept returning — until he ended up raping a middle school girl on a Greyhound bus, police say.
But new facts have revealed it was worse than we originally reported. Authorities now say Martinez-Maldonado was deported 10 times – and ALSO was voluntarily removed from the U.S. another nine times since 2003.
19 times this alleged rapist was caught illegally in the U.S., and he wasn’t ever jailed for any significant amount of time.
Is there any wonder why criminals have zero respect for our law enforcement officers?
Three U.S. Republican senators — including Kansas’ Jerry Moran and Pat Roberts — demanded this month that the Department of Homeland Security provide immigration records for the 38-year-old suspect, who is charged with a felony in the alleged Sept. 27 attack aboard a bus in Geary County. He is being held in the Geary County jail in Junction City, which is about 120 miles west of Kansas City.
U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley, from Iowa and chairman of the judiciary committee, co-signed a Dec. 9 letter with Moran and Roberts to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, calling it “an extremely disturbing case” and questioning how Martinez-Maldonado was able to re-enter and remain in the country.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said it has placed a detainer — a request to turn Martinez-Maldonado over to ICE custody before he is released — with Geary County. ICE declined to discuss his specific case beyond its October statement regarding the numerous deportations.
Court filings show Martinez-Maldonado has two misdemeanor convictions for entering without legal permission in cases prosecuted in 2013 and 2015 in U.S. District Court of Arizona, where he was sentenced to serve 60 days and 165 days respectively.
A status hearing in the rape case is scheduled for Jan. 10. Defense attorney Lisa Hamer declined to comment on the charge, but said, “criminal law and immigration definitely intersect and nowadays it should be the responsibility of every criminal defense attorney to know the possible ramifications in the immigration courts.”
Nationwide, 52 percent of all federal prosecutions in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30 were for entry or re-entry without legal permission and similar immigration violations, according to Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University.
It’s common to see immigrants with multiple illegal entries, said David Trevino, a Topeka immigration attorney who has provided legal advice to Martinez-Maldonado’s family.
He declined to comment on Martinez-Maldonado’s criminal history and pending charge.
Records, first obtained by The Associated Press, show Martinez-Maldonado had eight voluntary removals before his first deportation in 2010, which was followed by another voluntary removal that same year. He was deported five more times between 2011 and 2013.
In 2013, Martinez-Maldonado was charged with entering without legal permission, a misdemeanor, and subsequently deported in early 2014 after serving his sentence. He was deported again a few months later, as well as twice in 2015 — including the last one in October 2015 after he had served his second sentence, the records show.
ICE said in an emailed statement that when it encounters a person who’s been deported multiple times or has a significant criminal history and was removed, it routinely presents those cases to the U.S. attorney’s office for possible criminal charges.
Cosme Lopez, spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office in Arizona, declined to comment on why prosecutors twice dismissed felony re-entry after deportation charges against Martinez-Maldonado in 2013 and 2015 in exchange for guilty pleas on misdemeanor entry charges.
Arizona ranks third in the nation — behind only the Southern District of Texas and the Western District of Texas — for the number of immigration prosecutions among the nation’s 94 federal judicial districts for the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse records show.
Moran told the AP in an email that the immigration system is “broken.”
“There must be serious legislative efforts to address U.S. immigration policy, and we must have the ability to identify, prosecute and deport illegal aliens who display violent tendencies before they have an opportunity to perpetrate these crimes in the United States,” he said.

This man needs to be put in a box, alive, about 7 feet long, 2′ 6″ wide and 2 feet high. Put a lid on it, and then address it to Mexico with Love, rapist enclosed, no returns accepted. Take it to the border and drop it.
I kind of like the idea of tying him to a tree and beating the living hell out of him before throwing him back into Mexico, and letting him know that there will be an active warrent for his arrest and the administration of the other half of his punishment if he is ever caught in the U.S. again.
And tell him to be sure to tell all of his friends in MayHEEco what happened to him here.
It will be very expensive to build a wall and it will certainly have some success, I am all for it. However some crimes need to bring back capital punishment and that would be very effective probably in more ways than one.
A lot of sections are already built. To start they could just fill in the gaps
Mission Tx to Brownsville Tx has a fence about 15 feet high. The border can be sealed with a little effort.
I read a report about a year ago that illegal aliens were (at that time) costing American TaxVictims $345 BILLION a year. So the $700 +/- billion wall would cost two years worth of support for the illegals, and then that cost would disappear.
So we would pay off a TRILLION dollars of national debt every three years with that money that would no longer be supporting illegals.
Capital punishment not only works as a deterrent, but it also drives the MAY-hee-can government up the wall (no pun intended). We need to reduce what it costs to get to Execution Day with these monsters, though – the TaxVictims shouldn’t be hit up for that much money to be spent on wastes of space.
Frist we need to get the biggest and baddest person stripe him down beat the hell out him then lake a pole and rape him for days let him know how it feels like then drag him throw the sand until he bleeds then send him back to Mexico… with a sign saying cross the border and this is what you get… We the people of the United States protect our own
Why does he still have a DICK? Cut it off and then send him back.
Why so big? He needs to go in a box 3ft square, and have it buried in the desert sands in Mexico …
We will see the end of Sanctuary Cities one at a time! They care more about the illegals than they do the Americans in their cities! Say goodbye to all your Federal Aide! Can’t wait! Goodbye Rahm Emanuel and the Communist Bill Diblasio!
I pray to God that the incoming Administration will insist on better controls of illegals committing crimes. Maybe they should use the FEMA camps and keep these repeated offenders therein.
That would be an immense expense for American TaxVictims who are trying to recover from Obama’s economic devastation of middle class America.
There should be something less expensive to do with violent, criminal aliens. Don’t give them the rights of American citizens would be a good start.
And then make them build the Wall?
Mr. Trump’s first campaign promise was about immigration. A promise was made to “Build a wall.” Mr. Trump and Speaker Ryan need to get busy on this immediately after the inauguration. There have been too many reports like this one. And of course building the wall will have to be accompanied by an upgraded Border Patrol Force. And this Force will need to be able to do their job without interference.
What good does a wall do??? ” The horses have already left the barn.” Unless President Trump and Congress cleans up the Country of All the Illegals that have Invaded Our Country a wall will do no good.
How about the Immigration SYSTEM? One enters Our Country and soon after Hundred Family members are allowed to follow! Under the FAMILY Reunification Act! Parents, Grandparents, Siblings, Aunts, Uncles and on and on! If they want to live among their Family should they not do so in their own Country?
Citizenship by Birth is an other Insanity! Enter the Country Illegally, give birth to a child and not only do we pay for all the costs but also Crown the Offspring with the Country’s Crown Jewel “CITYZENSHIP”. This pretty much guarantees the parents permanent status to stay!
WE NEED TO PUT UP THE WALL SO THAT NO MORE FLIES GET IN, THEN CLEAN UP THE MESS THAT IS ALREADY HERE.
Chain migration could be ended with the stroke of a pen, and I imagine Trump will do that.
But the wall will stop untold hundreds of thousands of illegals, not all of them future maids and gardeners.
Just the reduction in contagious diseases being brought into the US would be worth it.
This is only one reason we need a secure boarder.
El Tejas you are a total ass hole. Swim back to the El Paso border from whence you came!!! You just want to smuggle more of your relatives here to put them on food stamps I pay for….
This scum bag needs to be (1) either given a death penalty – hanging by his privates in a public location, won’t last long when people are informed of what he has done, or (2), as suggested by a previous poster, put into a box and sent back to Mexico. Hopefully, after January 20th, these people will realize they will pay the consequences if they come here illegally.
What happened to ( castration ) ? This guy needs to be put in a barrel , turned upside down n a sharpe knife put to use ! Or send him to prison ! Discusting piece of crap he is…come on Trump ! Can’t wait.
I do not understand why this piece of scum was not executed long ago. There are many states in the USA that still give the death penalty–so why not try him in one of these States. ANY paedophile and Multiple Rapist should expect no mercy. I am sure that there are many readers that would be happy to kill this beast themselves. I would, given half a chance.
Jim
Congress MUST pass a bill to have people like this sent to a place like Git’mo for 2 years minimum – it they come back again they go back there for life, Mix then in with the other’s there for any reason.
Thank God President Elect Trump is more concerned about our Country and We the People than those immigrants who would do us harm.
I’m sure Barry and Michael wouldn’t mind Mr. Tomas Martinez-Maldonado.
Abe – maybe they could take him in as a boarder when O’bozo the “Big Eared” Clown and Michelle Ma Belle are expelled from their undeserved luxury digs.
Just kill it and be done with it.
He is one despicable SCUMBAG CHILD MOLESTER. He needs to be in prison and experience the same vile treatment he used on his victim(s).
Let this scumbag babysit Bill Deblasio, Rahm Emanuel, and every Mayor from every sanctuary city in America’s children, and of course Obama’s to.
Obama has done the American people wrong. I live on a border town. It pisses me of what these illegals get away with. free education, drivers privaliages, free health care.on and on. thank god the birther is gone January 20th.
Castrate and send back to Mexico. the word would get around so fast , they would think twice about coming here to rape our children.
Castrate is a start,, cut the whole business off,, (dull knife preferably) tie it around his neck with hands tied and turn him over to Mexico, Naked with a sign tattooed on his forehead,, “Rapist” or “Child Molester”End of Story,,
What about the illegal in Lake County Ohio. He killed a 60 year old woman. He assaulted a 40 year old woman. That was not all he tried to RAPE A 15 year old girl. Then odumbie said let him go we will send him back to Mexico
the only way to stop this animal is to execute him as he has shown no respect for the law and never will until he is dead.the same
should apply here in the u.k.but sadly never will, while we have spineless politicians.donald trump will most likely reverse this
problem. if only we could have a leader like him,instead of another Cameron in a dress.
First offense: Send him home with only 9 fingers. Second offense: Send him home with only 8. Third offense… You get the idea. Once the word got out illegal immigration would drop to zero overnight.
When he runs out of fingers and toes, guess what comes off next.
Take a blowtorch to his family jewels and if he survives you can bet he’ll never be able to molest anybody again.
That’s suits me. I love this idea.
“What comes off next” should come off immediately after the first rape — whether the perp is an illegal alien or not. After a 2nd rape offense, firing squad.
Actually, if the family jewels come off after the first rape, a 2nd one is unlikely, so the firing squad can be employed for any other acts of molestation or perversion.
This man should be executed or put in Guantanamo he is evil and dangerous and an enemy of the US.
18 days and counting
This guy should not be allowed to be deported. He should be taken into the desert and shot but not killed and left for the buzzards to finish off. Tie him up so he can’t defend himself like the little girl couldn’t.
Why waste a bullet, just slice his jewels leave him tied n buzzards get To SLOWLY Show him his innards as they pick him Alive!
When the Government fails to protect its citizens from predators such as this, it’s time for the people to rise up and mete out the required dose of justice to the perp.
The problem is that the prevailing wisdom aa articulated by senator Moran is that illegal immigrants should be prosecuted and deported when they display tendencies toward violence.NO they should be prosecuted and deported when they are discovered here illegally,period. Why should American citizens have to endure more and more criminal activity from criminal invaders?
Why should we have to support them and their families, to the tune of $345 billion a year?
We could pay off the national debt at a rate of a trillion dollars every three years if we weren’t being forced to support criminals (they are all criminals, violent or not).
Relocate him to Chappaqua, NY
She would like the attention,,
The atrocious actions of this MISCREANT can be laid at the doorstep of obummer, as he opened the border to thousands of the ILLEGAL ALIENS.
The actions of many are like RABID MAD DOGS. Spreading death and destruction every where they go. IF— this were a MAD DOG , a good citizen would put a bullet between his eyes , and the community would HAIL THAT CITIZEN AS A HERO.
THIS LOW LIFE, RAPING, despicable ,slimey ,putrid blob of filth , IS A MAD DOG.
We don’t have enough crime in the US, so now we are importing criminals? Great, just great. THIS IS INSANE.
Yet another example of why liberalism should be outlawed in this nation. Those who have promoted these policies and refused to do their jobs in accordance with the law should be charged as accomplices in every single crime committed by these same illegals they welcomed with open arms. People need to understand the only thing destroying this nation is Washington DC and all those party loyalist who keep putting them back in office. I still don’t trust Trump, but I would much rather have a businessman running our country than a community organizer.
I say c*str*t* (you supply the vowel) him with a rusty dull knife,
tattoo “WB” on his forehead with permanent bright international orange ink,
then send him back from whence he came with the warning that he will be
shot on sight by any law enforcement person or CCWP holder
if seen in the U.S. ever again.
Same for anyone from the first offence . . .
NO TOLERANCE ! ! !
This is a sure sign of weak law enforcement on our Goverment. This is very much uncalled for and should never happen. Also shows how our present goverment protects us.
I propose cutting the “Dick” off of all rapists no matter who they are and they can’t be repeat offenders. This would surely slow the illegal flow of these hardened ass holes to our neighborhoods. They only come here because they know no one will do anything about it. I am an actual native Californian and have seen the illegal alien bullshit grow to uncontrollable proportions since the 50’s. Had an illegal hold a gun to my head in San Diego a few years ago. He picked the wrong girl as I am conceal/carry. Can’t help it…shot the dick… It really is the easiest thing to get to depending upon where you store you firearm. He ran off…Oh well…

Simple … after 3rd return … death penalty! Kill the mother-f***ker! Enough with the hand slap. No quarter given for these ass holes.
