Sheriff Unloads on Immigration Enforcement Collaboration
Unauthorized Mexican immigrant allegedly assaulted a boy during a game of hide and seek under Biden's administration: claims by sheriff
Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski, of Portage County, shares his reasons for partnering with ICE to crack down on undocumented immigration.
A Chilling Assault Sparks Action
A grim incident in Florida recently brought the issue of immigration enforcement back into the spotlight. Samuel Cobos-Carmona, a previously deported Mexican man, illegally residing in the U.S., was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy during a game of hide-and-seek.

This shocking case highlights the urgency for stronger immigration enforcement, according to many law enforcement officials. In a video message, Charlotte County Sheriff Bill Prummell stated that Cobos-Carmona sexually battered the teen, both orally and anally[1]. The incident occurred on April 13, with Cobos-Carmona befriending the victim and an 8-year-old child while playing in the woods[1].
Catch and Release, Catch and Repeat
Cobos-Carmona, who first entered the U.S. illegally in 2021, was caught and deported to Mexico. However, as is not uncommon under the current administration, he illegally returned to the U.S. in 2022[1]. After fleeing Texas authorities, he arrived in Florida, where he was later found in Sarasota in July 2024, but was released under the Biden administration's catch-and-release policies[1].
Sheriffs Speak Out
Sheriff Zuchowski, like many of his fellow law enforcement officers in Florida, is frustrated by the lack of federal response to cases involving undocumented immigrants. "People often question why myself and my fellow sheriffs in the state of Florida are working with our federal partners to round individuals like this up to get them the hell out of here," Zuchowski said[1]. "This is why."
Zuchowski entered into a 287(g) agreement with ICE, which enables local deputies to arrest and detain undocumented individuals until ICE can arrive. This partnership is aimed at addressing criminal behavior and does not involve arbitrary detentions based on race or language[1]. Sheriff Zuchowski emphasizes that the collaboration between local and federal officials is an essential step toward enhancing community safety and improving law enforcement efficiency.
