Federal immigration authorities arrested a previously convicted child rapist in Washington, D.C., earlier this year, underscoring ongoing enforcement actions against illegal aliens in the nation’s capital.

The incident, captured on video by NBC Washington’s Aimee Cho, showed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers stopping a Hispanic man, removing him from his vehicle, and detaining him. The man attempted to flee during the encounter but was quickly restrained and taken into custody by federal agents.

In the video, the man pleaded in Spanish, saying, “Please, I’m not a criminal, I work here, I want to be with my family.”

Authorities later confirmed that the man was an illegal alien who had previously been arrested in Fairfax County, Virginia, in January 2024 on charges of aggravated sexual assault of a child under 13.

ICE officials stated that the individual had been living in the United States unlawfully and was a fugitive wanted in connection with serious criminal offenses.

His capture is part of ongoing enforcement operations targeting individuals who pose a threat to public safety.

Court records from Fairfax County confirmed the January 2024 arrest, and immigration officials noted that after posting bail, the man failed to appear for required proceedings.

He was considered a fugitive until his apprehension in D.C.

The arrest drew attention from local residents as video of the encounter circulated online.

ICE emphasized that the individual’s prior conviction and fugitive status made his capture a priority case.

The case has also become part of a broader national debate over the presence of illegal aliens with criminal records in U.S. communities.

Federal authorities continue to carry out targeted operations across the country, with particular focus on individuals convicted of violent crimes or sexual offenses.

The arrest in D.C. follows a series of enforcement actions in Virginia and Maryland earlier this year in which ICE detained multiple individuals with prior convictions for sexual assault, domestic violence, and other violent crimes.

Officials have reiterated that these enforcement priorities are aimed at preventing further harm and maintaining public safety.

According to ICE, individuals arrested during such operations undergo removal proceedings, and in cases involving serious felony convictions, deportation is pursued once criminal sentences or outstanding legal obligations are resolved.

The D.C. arrest illustrates the challenges faced by law enforcement as they track and detain individuals who reenter communities despite prior arrests or convictions.

ICE has noted that cooperation with local jurisdictions plays a critical role in ensuring such individuals are not released back into the public without federal review.

The case is expected to move forward in immigration court, where removal proceedings will determine the individual’s status.

ICE has not released the man’s name due to ongoing legal processes, but confirmed his prior arrest record and fugitive designation.

Federal officials said the case highlights the importance of continued immigration enforcement efforts, particularly against those convicted of violent crimes.
