Hector Aguliar/Mexico/Sodomy

ICE New Orleans arrested Hector Aguliar, a citizen and national of Mexico, on July 11, 2025, following his identification as a removable noncitizen due to a serious felony conviction in the United States. According to ICE records, Aguliar has been convicted of first degree sodomy, a violent sexual offense involving non-consensual sexual conduct by forcible compulsion or with a victim incapable of consent due to age or other legal incapacity. Crimes of this nature are prosecuted as aggravated felonies under U.S. immigration law and carry the highest level of immigration consequences, including mandatory detention and removal from the United States.

First degree sodomy is considered one of the most severe offenses under criminal statutes due to the lasting harm to victims and the use of force or coercion. Noncitizens convicted of such crimes are ineligible for most forms of immigration relief and are permanently barred from reentering the country once removed. These cases are routinely prioritized for enforcement action under current immigration policy.

ICE has not disclosed further information regarding the details of Aguliar’s offense, including the location of the crime, the date of conviction, or whether additional criminal charges are pending. As of the latest report, Aguliar remains in ICE custody pending the outcome of his removal proceedings to determine the final terms of his deportation from the United States.
