Newark, NJ — A man with a federal conviction for interstate prostitution and an active warrant for human trafficking and organized crime in Mexico was deported on April 17, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials in Newark said.
ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Newark identified the individual as Jaime Granados-Rendon, who was taken into custody and removed to his home country following his criminal conviction in the United States.
Federal conviction preceded removal
According to ERO Newark, Granados-Rendon had been convicted in the U.S. on charges related to interstate prostitution, though officials did not provide details about the case, including sentencing or where the conviction occurred.
In addition to his U.S. conviction, Mexican authorities are seeking Granados-Rendon on allegations tied to human trafficking and organized crime, ICE said.
The agency confirmed that he was removed from the United States on April 17 and transferred to Mexico, where he is wanted.
Cross-border allegations shape enforcement action
ICE did not specify how long Granados-Rendon had been in the United States or when he was first taken into immigration custody. The agency also did not detail whether Mexican authorities coordinated directly in the removal process beyond confirming the outstanding warrant.
