Gerson Fuentes, a Guatemalan illegal immigrant, pleaded guilty to raping a 9-year-old girl, was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole this week.
"On July 13, officers with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations lodged an immigration detainer on Gerson Fuentes following his arrest by the Columbus, Ohio Police Department for felony rape charges. Fuentes is currently in the custody of local officials at the Franklin County Jail," an ICE spokesperson said in July last year."Fuentes has no previous immigration history.
Fuentes pleaded guilty to two counts of rape and was sentenced to life in prison this week, but a plea deal allows him to seek parole after serving between 25-30 years and registering as a sex offender. The Associated Press reported that the judge in the case was not required to approve the deal but said the victim’s family"begged" the judge to support it. It means the victim will not have to testify in court. The judge called the plea a"very hard pill for this court to swallow.""Anyone who’s ever been in this courtroom for the last 20 years knows how this court feels about these babies, young people, being violated," the judge said.
Since ICE filed a detainer — a request that he is transferred into ICE custody and deportation proceedings once he completes his sentence — it is likely he would be removed from the U.S. if ever released on parole.Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
