San Antonio, TX – A shocking FBI raid in July 2021 uncovered Zaid Mashhour Haddad, a University of Texas at San Antonio professor and self-proclaimed “social justice advocate,” watching child pornography on his TV, yet the agency waited until April 30, 2025, to arrest him, sparking outrage among conservatives. The details, reported by news4sanantonio.com [], reveal Haddad’s double life, and the delay in his arrest has people on X fuming: “FBI caught this creep in the act and let him roam free for four years? Disgraceful!”
Haddad, an assistant professor of interdisciplinary studies, bragged in his UTSA biography about “negotiating intersecting identities,” per utsa.edu [], while allegedly streaming 181 child sexual abuse videos via Telegram, some live on Zoom, per justice.gov []. The FBI found one video playing on his bedroom TV during the raid, yet he remained free until charged with possession and intent to view child pornography, facing up to 20 years, per meltzerandbell.com []. Criminal attorney Joe Hoelscher told news4sanantonio.com, “What’s shocking is law enforcement left him in our community for four years in a role where he has access to children.”

Conservatives are livid at the delay, especially given Haddad’s access to students. @PatriotPulse wrote, “A social justice warrior caught with child p*rn—and the FBI does nothing for years? This is why we need Trump’s DOJ!” @America1stMAGA added, “Haddad’s a predator hiding behind woke buzzwords—Trump would’ve locked him up day one!” Under Trump, the DOJ has prioritized child exploitation cases, with 2,300 arrests in 2025, per justice.gov [], a stark contrast to Biden’s tenure, which saw a 15% drop in such prosecutions, per Syracuse University’s TRAC 2024 [].
The image of Haddad’s San Antonio apartment, with its neatly parked cars outside, belies the depravity inside, fueling conservative calls for justice reform. @JusticeForAll22 wrote, “FBI’s inaction put kids at risk—Trump’s cleaning up this mess!” With Haddad now in custody, conservatives see this as a testament to Trump’s law-and-order agenda, but the four-year delay remains a bitter pill, highlighting systemic failures they believe only Trump can fix.
