Ulugbek Davronov, alleged sex predator, arrested by ICE New York City
NEW YORK — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Uzbekistan national Ulugbek Davronov April 28. The 21-year-old illegal alien is currently pending charges for rape: oral sexual contact without consent-other than incapacity consent; sexual misconduct: engage in oral sexual contact without consent; attempted assault: with intent to cause physical injury; and sexual abuse: subject another person to sex contact without consent.
“ICE places a high priority on arresting and removing criminal aliens who pose a threat to public safety, especially those who commit heinous crimes against residents of New York City,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations New York City acting Field Office Director William P. Joyce. “Thankfully, ICE officers and agents, with the help of our FBI partners, were able to safely apprehend this alien subsequent to his release from local custody, before he could do any further harm.”
U.S. Border Patrol encountered Davronov Dec. 28, 2022, near Lukeville, Arizona, after he illegally entered the United States from Mexico without admission or parole by an immigration official. Border Patrol officials arrested him and placed him in removal proceedings. On July 28, 2023, an immigration judge ordered him removed in absentia from the U.S. The Queens County Criminal Court arraigned Davronov on the aforementioned charges Feb. 19. ICE New York City identified Davronov as a criminal alien amenable to removal and lodged an immigration detainer with Queens Central Booking that same day. The following day, Queens County Central Booking released him without honoring the request or notifying ICE of his release.
ICE New York City Fugitive Operations officers and Homeland Security Investigations special agents arrested Davronov on Staten Island during a targeted operation and transported him to the ICE field office for processing. He is currently detained in ICE custody.
