Trump immigrant child detention center hired ex-Border Patrol agent busted for child porn

"He was arrested in 2008, after an undercover FBI sting, for possession of child pornography, a second-degree felony, according to publicly available criminal court records in Cameron County."

Padron’s arrest was heavily covered by local and national media, and his criminal records remain online, so even a cursory web search of his name should have turned up his background.

Regulators have cited Southwest Key in the past for failing to properly check the backgrounds of other employees at Texas shelters.

One shelter in Combes was cited twice, in June 2016 and February 2018, for failing to submit required information for a background check renewal in a timely manner.

Inspectors found at another shelter two years ago in Houston that two employees had not been checked through the State Child Abuse and Neglect registry, and Southwest Key also failed to renew background checks for five other employees.

Six employees at a Montgomery County shelter had their background checks renewed late in 2016, and inspectors last year found a caregiver with access to children had failed a pre-employment drug test.

“Southwest Key is federally contracted to run child immigration shelters by the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which is a program of the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), which falls underneath the larger umbrella of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,” the magazine reported.

Southwest Key Hired Child Case Manager Previously Arrested for Child Pornography

"A former Border Patrol agent who resigned from the agency after he was arrested on child pornography charges was later hired as a case manager at a major shelter for unaccompanied immigrant children in Brownsville, Texas Monthly has learned.

Ernesto Padron worked at Austin-based nonprofit Southwest Key’s Casa Padre shelter last year, where, as a case manager, he had direct access to unaccompanied immigrant minors. He had previously worked as a Border Patrol agent until his resignation in October 2010, when he was arrested in Brownsville for alleged possession of child pornography, a second-degree felony, according to the Cameron County District Attorney’s Office"
