 After being detained and released, an illegal immigrant was arrested in Rhode Island for child molestation: ICE

Immigration authorities said on Friday that a Guatemalan man who was living in the country illegally was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of child molestation after being freed from custody last year.

Removal authorities from U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement detained the unidentified guy on February 6. According to ICE, he is accused of sex crimes in Providence, Rhode Island.

"This Guatemalan national has broken American immigration laws and is accused of heinous crimes against a child in Rhode Island," stated Todd M. Lyons, the head of Enforcement Removal Operations' Boston field office. "We will continue to apprehend and remove egregious offenders who prey on the most vulnerable in our society."

Immigration officials are unaware of the suspect's date of entry into the country. In March 2023, he was taken into custody in Providence and accused of child molestation.

He was being held at the Adult Correctional Institute in Cranston, Rhode Island, when immigration authorities filed a detainer request for him. He was sent released in April 2023, according to authorities, after his plea to alert immigration authorities to his impending release from the prison was denied.

His case for child molestation is still open.

Because of so-called "sanctuary city" regulations that prohibit local officials from collaborating with immigration authorities, numerous jurisdictions nationwide routinely disregard detainer requests from ICE.

According to ICE, these rules endanger the public by allowing dangerous felons to return to society.
