ICE removes illegal alien, child sex predator to Mexico
BUFFALO, N.Y. – U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement removed illegally present Mexican national Miguel Saldivar-Moran from the United States to Mexico, April 29. Saldivar has convictions for acting in a course of sexual conduct against a child and criminal sex act among other charges.
“ICE will not tolerate criminal aliens who violate innocent children in our communities,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Acting Deputy Field Office Director Philip Rhoney. “We will pursue these vile predators with utmost urgency and effect their removal from the United States.”
Salvidar, 45, admitted to illegally entering the United States in 1997 by crossing the border from Mexico into Arizona without being admitted or paroled by a U.S. Immigration official. Between 2003 – 2013, Saldivar was convicted of three counts of DWI and one count of endangering the welfare of a child for which he was sentenced to probation and fines. An immigration judge ordered him removed from the U.S. Sept. 7, 2016. Saldivar appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals, but the BIA denied his claim June 30, 2017.
The Suffolk County Court on Long Island, New York convicted Saldivar May 14, 2019, for the crimes of first-degree sexual abuse, acting in course of sexual conduct against a child, first degree criminal sex act and acting in a manner to injure a child.
ICE Buffalo arrested Saldivar April 10, upon his release from New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision custody in Attica, New York.
