ICE Buffalo arrests British national with significant criminality in the United Kingdom

BUFFALO, N.Y. — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested a citizen of the United Kingdom who misrepresented himself upon entry when he failed to disclose his criminal record in his home country. ICE Buffalo officers apprehended Orlando Duncan Da Silva Bain during a targeted enforcement operation May 7 in Niagara Falls, New York.

Da Silva Bain, 19, was recently admitted to the United States as a nonimmigrant in Orlando, Florida. By failing to acknowledge his significant criminal record in the U.K. on his Electronic System for Travel Authorization application, he violated the terms of admission under the visa waiver program and is thereby amenable to removal from the U.S.

After Da Silva Bain’s admittance, officials discovered he has been convicted of the following offenses:

• Take a child so as to keep him/her from a person having lawful control.
• Offender 18 or over engage in penetrative sexual activity with a minor.
• Cause/incite the sexual exploitation of a child aged 13-17.
• Possess indecent photograph/pseudo-photograph of a child.
• Cause a child aged 13 to 15 to watch/look at an image of sexual activity-offender 18 or over.
• Postal service-send obscene/indecent article.

Da Silva Bain is in ICE custody at the Buffalo Federal Detention Facility pending his removal from the U.S.
