ICE arrests child sexual predator after being released by local law enforcement
PHILADELPHIA— On Nov. 22, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested an unlawfully present Guatemalan national after he was released from police custody, despite a detainer lodged against him for sexual abuse against children.
Ervin Urrutia-Sagastume was arrested by the Philadelphia Police Department Nov. 12 for sexual abuse against children, including photographing, videotaping, depicting on a computer or filming sexual acts, criminal use of a communication facility, and possession of an instrument of crime. That same day, ICE’s Philadelphia Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) lodged an immigration detainer on Urrutia, but local law enforcement released him onto the streets, without notifying ICE. It took a week for ICE to locate and apprehend this individual.
