Gabriel Gutierrez Varon/Colombia/Lewd or Lascivious Acts With a Minor

On November 19, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) agents in Los Angeles arrested Gabriel Gutierrez Varon, a 78-year-old citizen of Colombia. Gutierrez was previously convicted of committing lewd or lascivious acts with a minor, a felony offense involving unlawful sexual conduct.

The arrest was part of ERO’s operations targeting non-citizens with criminal convictions, especially cases involving harm to children. Such crimes are viewed as highly serious under U.S. law and often result in mandatory immigration enforcement actions.

Gutierrez is currently in ICE custody pending removal proceedings, which may lead to his deportation to Colombia based on the severity of the conviction. Authorities have not provided further personal details or additional information about this case.
