‘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.
