PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has removed an Ecuadorian national wanted for rape in his home country, officials announced Wednesday.
Elvis Isaac Aguirre Yanez was deported to Ecuador on May 6 after a final order of removal. Ecuadorian authorities had issued an arrest warrant for Aguirre on December 14, 2017, on rape charges. Upon arrival, he was turned over to Ecuadorian law enforcement.
Aguirre first entered the United States unlawfully near Paso Del Norte, Texas, on November 13, 2022. He was paroled into the country by Border Patrol and instructed to report to ICE Philadelphia’s office in Pittsburgh.
On March 14, Aguirre appeared at the ICE office as directed, where officials discovered the outstanding rape warrant from Ecuador. He was immediately taken into custody and later detained at Moshannon Valley Processing Center in Philipsburg.
An immigration judge ordered his removal on April 4. He was deported one month later.
