ICE Reports Record Number of Illegal Alien Sex Offender Arrests In Maryland for 2024

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has announced a record number of arrests of noncitizen sex offenders in Maryland for the current fiscal year.

ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) in Baltimore reported the arrest of 153 noncitizen sex offenders during the 2024 fiscal year, according to a press release from ERO Baltimore. This record comes amid heightened scrutiny following the case of Madai Gamaliel Amaya, a Honduran national who had been deported in 2010 after serving time for a rape conviction. Amaya’s case has brought attention to ICE’s broader efforts to target noncitizen sex offenders.

After Amaya was apprehended in August, ERO Executive Associate Director Daniel Bible commended the Baltimore division’s work, stating, “This is a landmark arrest for ERO Baltimore, in that they secured a record 153 noncitizen sex offenders arrested in their area of operations during a single fiscal year, but more importantly, there are 153 victims who need not fear their predators because of ERO officers.”

Amaya initially entered the U.S. illegally several years ago. He was first arrested in 2009 on rape charges and sentenced to 10 years in prison, although a judge suspended two years and six months of his sentence. ICE filed a detainer for his deportation in 2013. However, in 2016, Amaya attempted to illegally re-enter the U.S. and was convicted of unlawful entry in 2017, resulting in a return to prison. Following his sentence, he was deported again in 2018, but managed to re-enter the U.S. at an unknown time.

Amaya’s latest arrest has placed him back in custody for deportation proceedings, as confirmed by ICE officials to Fox News.
