(Daily Signal)—Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested an illegal alien who had been deported five times and who had sent sexual text messages to someone he believed was a 14-year-old girl.
“This sicko was arrested after repeatedly sending sexual texts to someone he thought was a 14-year-old girl,” Lauren Bis, assistant secretary for public affairs at the Department of Homeland Security, said in a news release first given to the Daily Signal. “His criminal history includes a conviction for driving under the influence, and he has been deported FIVE times in the past.”
“ICE has lodged a detainer asking officials in South Dakota to commit to not releasing this pedophile from jail and cooperate with ICE, so that we can remove him from our country and make sure he’ll never prey on another innocent child in our country again,” Bis added.
ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations division arrested 34-year-old Frederico Pascual-Jimenez, an illegal alien from Mexico, in May. According to the Department of Homeland Security, an ICE law enforcement officer had posed as a 14-year-old girl and texted the suspect in an undercover operation to target pedophiles who use the internet to prey on children.
The Sex Sting
When the agent sent texts saying that the “child” was young, Pascual-Jimenez allegedly responded, “I think age doesn’t matter.”
The illegal alien allegedly began sending texts describing “his intentions to have sex with a child,” the DHS release states.
Pascual-Jimenez allegedly wrote, “But what if you wanted to keep this relationship strictly secret—where you are mine and mine alone, and I am yours—so that whenever we’re together, I can do all the things I love doing to you?” He allegedly made demands of the “child,” including orders not to text her age.
The illegal alien suspect arranged to meet the “girl” in the parking lot of a public swimming pool in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on May 27. At the scene, Homeland Security Investigations officers surrounded him and arrested him without incident.
Authorities filed felony charges of enticement of a minor for indecent purposes and illegal re-entry. His criminal history includes a prior conviction for driving while under the influence, according to DHS.
Pascual-Jimenez first illegally entered the U.S. through Arizona in 2001, and authorities granted him a voluntary return to Mexico. He reentered the country illegally through Texas in April 2012 before voluntarily leaving again. He illegally reentered the country twice through California in May 2012, and authorities deported him both times. DHS states that his second May 2012 entry constituted a felony offense.
Pascual-Jimenez entered the country again in July 2012 through Texas and got deported the next month. He illegally entered the U.S. a sixth time at an unknown date and location.
Illegal Alien Recidivism
Lora Ries, director of The Heritage Foundation’s Border Security and Immigration Center, told the Daily Signal that illegal aliens have repeatedly crossed the border going back decades.
“Recidivism has been a decades-old problem at the border,” Ries said. “In fact, smugglers offer illegal aliens multiple attempts to get across the border in their smuggling fee.”
“Preventing recidivism includes thorough border security to prevent the re-entry, public criminal prosecutions and convictions of recidivists, prioritizing swift deportations of recidivists, and preventing the hiring and other downstream benefits of recidivists,” she added.
Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
