Noe Gonzalez-Rafael/Mexico/Domestic Violence, Lewd or Lascivious Acts

ICE Los Angeles arrested Noe Gonzalez-Rafael, a 24-year-old citizen and national of Mexico, on July 9, 2025, following his identification as a removable noncitizen based on multiple arrests for serious offenses involving minors and domestic violence. According to ICE records, Gonzalez-Rafael has been arrested for engaging in sexual activity with a minor, an offense involving unlawful sexual conduct with an individual below the age of legal consent. Such offenses are considered aggravated felonies under U.S. immigration law and carry severe legal and immigration consequences, including mandatory detention and removal.

Gonzalez-Rafael has also been arrested for lewd or lascivious acts with a child under the age of 14. This offense includes intentional sexual contact or conduct with a young child and is regarded as one of the most serious crimes under state and federal statutes. Arrests for such conduct, even absent a conviction, significantly impact immigration proceedings due to the nature of the allegations.

In addition to the offenses involving minors, Gonzalez-Rafael has been arrested for domestic violence, which includes acts of physical, emotional, or psychological abuse directed toward a partner or household member. Domestic violence is classified as a crime of moral turpitude and can further affect a noncitizen’s eligibility for relief from removal.

ICE has not released additional details regarding the locations of the alleged offenses, the outcomes of the arrests, or whether Gonzalez-Rafael has other criminal history. As of the latest report, he remains in ICE custody pending further immigration proceedings.
