ICE removes 'foreign fugitive' wanted in Mexico on rape charge

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the removal of a “foreign fugitive” who is wanted in Mexico on a rape charge. 

Raymundo Rojas Bacilio, a Mexican-born illegal immigrant, was convicted of sexually abusing an 11-year-old child in America after being deported five times. This information was reported by Fox News Digital in December, citing ICE. The agency disclosed that Rojas was deported to Mexico on Jan. 25.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Philadelphia acting Field Office Director Brian McShane emphasized the significance of Rojas’ removal due to his history of illegal entries to the United States and heinous criminal acts. McShane stated that Rojas posed a serious threat to the safety and security of communities.

“This removal demonstrates that we will relentlessly pursue and remove those who endanger the American public,” McShane added.

Mexican authorities then issued an arrest warrant for Rojas for rape in May 2013, according to ICE. 

“Rojas later unlawfully entered the U.S. on an unknown date and location without admission by an immigration official,” the agency said. 

Rojas was arrested by the New York Police Department on Aug. 28, 2023. Following his arrest, he was convicted by the Kings County Supreme Court in Brooklyn on Sept. 20, 2024, for forcibly touching the intimate parts of an 11-year-old victim. The court sentenced him to 60 days in prison, six years of probation, and mandated that he register as a sex offender.
