Immigration and Customs Enforcement authorities in New York have arrested a Mexican-born illegal immigrant who sexually abused a child after being deported five times.
According to ICE, criminal immigrant Raymond Rojas Basilio, 36, sexually abused an 11-year-old child in the United States.
Rojas committed this crime after being deported five times and re-entering the country at an unknown date and location without an immigration official’s permission to enter the country.
New York City Police Department arrested Rojas on August 28, 2023. He was later found guilty in Kings County Supreme Court in Brooklyn on September 20, 2024, of forcibly touching the intimate parts of an 11-year-old victim. He was sentenced to 60 days in jail, suspended for six years, and required to register as a sex offender.

New York ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers then arrested Rojas in front of his home in Queens on December 17.
U.S. Border Patrol first arrested Rojas in May 2002 near Douglas, Arizona, after he attempted to enter the United States illegally on three separate occasions.
Border Patrol agents then arrested Rojas again on January 6, 2012, at the Dennis DeConcini Port of Entry in Nogales, Arizona, after he attempted to enter the country using a fake Arizona driver’s license and U.S. birth certificate. . A few days later, on January 11, border authorities removed Rojas again after he tried to enter the country using fraudulent documents at another port of entry in Nogales.
New York ICE Field Office Director Kenneth Gennaro said of the arrest, “This criminal has no regard for our laws, as evidenced by his repeated attempts to enter the United States illegally and fraudulently.” It has repeatedly shown that.”

“As this incident shows, it only takes one successful trespass to cause irreparable harm to members of our community,” he continued.
He said a locally implemented “non-cooperation policy” prevented ICE from immediately detaining Rojas after the Brooklyn court’s ruling.
“However, thanks to the diligence of our staff, ERO New York City was able to quickly apprehend this public safety threat before he harmed other New Yorkers,” Henaro said.
Rojas is currently in ICE custody awaiting extradition to Mexico, according to the statement.
