The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency says a Jamaican national was among several immigrants apprehended during enforcement operations targeting what they described as “known criminal illegal aliens and immigration fugitives” in the New York City metropolitan area.
ICE said on Wednesday, June 10, that its Fugitive Operations teams arrested Mosiah Wright, who they said was among “criminal illegal aliens convicted of violent and repulsive crimes including murder, rape, sexual abuse of a child under 11, forcible touching of sexual or intimate parts of another person and sexual contact with a person incapable of consent.”
ICE said other immigrants apprehended were nationals of El Salvador, Ecuador, and Honduras.
ICE said Wright was previously removed from the country and was convicted of murder by the US District Court for the District of Minnesota. He was also arrested for “carrying a concealed weapon illegally, drug possession, resisting arrest and probation violations,” ICE said.
“While sanctuary politicians continue to prioritize criminal illegal aliens over law abiding New Yorkers, our officers are on the front lines every day keeping our communities safe from murderers, rapists and pedophiles that prey on our most vulnerable citizens,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Field Office Director Kenneth Genalo.
