Jamaican national Sanjay Sivan Walsh was convicted in June 2023 of two counts of second-degree sexual assault and conspiracy to tamper with evidence, ICE said.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials on Tuesday announced the arrest of a convicted sex offender in Connecticut after local authorities ignored a detainer request against him.
Some jurisdictions, such as sanctuary cities, will purposefully ignore ICE detainers in protest of their work of deporting noncitizens. “Mr. Walsh was convicted of committing unspeakable crimes against two children, and he was sentenced to prison for it,” ERO Boston acting Field Office Director Patricia Hyde said. “ERO Boston lodged an immigration detainer against him so our officers could safely arrest him upon his release, but the Connecticut Department of Corrections officials refused to honor the detainer.”
ICE officials last week also announced the agency arrested a convicted child molester immediately upon his release from a Rhode Island facility. Jorge Armando Jacinto was first arrested in February 2011 and convicted of nine child molestation offenses, the agency said.
