Ice deports convicted child sex offender to guatemala after ny prison release

BUFFALO, N.Y. — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Friday removed a convicted child sex offender and Guatemalan national from the United States following his release from a New York state prison.

Alvaro De Jesus Martinez-Juarez, 55, had entered the U.S. illegally in 1990 through California. In 2015, the Nassau County Police Department arrested him on two counts of first-degree sexual conduct against a child under 13. He was convicted in 2017 and sentenced to 12 years in prison.

Following his release from state custody in Wallkill, N.Y., ICE officers arrested Martinez on June 20 and held him at the Buffalo Federal Detention Facility pending removal proceedings.
