BALTIMORE ICE BLACKOUT: 153 SEX OFFENDERS NABBED IN RECORD-SETTING YEAR

Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Baltimore apprehended Madai Gamaliel Amaya, a 36-year-old Honduran national convicted of rape in Maryland. This arrest marks the 153rd noncitizen sex offender apprehension by ERO Baltimore this fiscal year. Amaya had been previously removed from the United States in 2013 and 2018 after convictions for rape and unlawful re-entry. ERO emphasizes the importance of immigration detainers as public safety tools, enabling the transfer of criminal noncitizens from local custody to ICE for removal. This operation underscores ERO's commitment to protecting communities and enforcing U.S. immigration laws.
