Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON. 

An Ecuadorian citizen with a "history of violence toward children" was arrested in New York on Thursday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced.

Manuel Zumba-Mejia, 46, was taken into custody in Ossining, N.Y., by ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations New York City for unlawfully re-entering the U.S. Deportation officials said he was arrested without incident.

Zumba-Mejia was convicted in February 2010 of reckless assault by the Westchester County Court for causing serious brain injury to his 7-week-old daughter by "shaking or impacting the head." He was sentenced to three years incarcerated......Once he completed his sentence in September 2011, Zumba-Mejia was returned to Ecuador. At some unknown time, he re-entered the U.S. without inspection or admittance by an immigration official.

In April 2022, he was convicted by the Croton-on-Hudson Village Court of driving while intoxicated. He was sentenced to a conditional discharge and a $1,000 fine. His driver's license was also revoked.  More at Ecuadorian man with 'violent criminal history' arrested in New York after re-entering US illegally | Fox News
