ICE officials arrested a Peruvian national in Connecticut for child rape charges in his home country.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials on Friday announced the arrest of a Peru vian national in Connecticut accused of raping a minor in his home country. The migrant, whose identity was withheld, illegally entered the U.S. in 2004 through the U.S.-Mexico border, according to ICE. The agency said it was cited in December 2011 for operating a motor vehicle without a license by the Orange, Conn. Police Department.
He was then arrested in New Haven in December 2014 for allegedly “refusing to submit to a blood, breath or urine test at a police officer’s request,” but was released after participating in an Impaired Driver Intervention Program, according to ICE. Authorities in Lima, Peru issued a warrant for the migrant’s arrest in June. They accused the migrant of raping a child. Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Boston arrested the migrant in New Haven last month. He remains in ICE custody pending removal from the U.S., the agency said. “Authorities in Peru issued an arrest warrant for this individual because he’s been charged with raping a child there,” ERO Boston Acting Field Office Director Patricia Hyde said. “ERO Boston, in partnership with local authorities, is charged with keeping our communities safe — and we take that responsibility very seriously. Connecticut is not, and never will be, a safe haven for fugitives accused of harming children.”ICE's announcement follows the arrest of an illegal Dominican migrant accused of sex crimes and kidnapping in Massachusetts. Emilio Jose Pena-Casilla, 46, illegally entered the U.S. near Eagle Pass, Texas in January 2023 and was arrested by ERO Boston on Dec. 17, according to the agency
