Hyobin Lee/South Korea/Rape

Hyobin Lee, a criminal illegal alien from South Korea, was arrested in Faribault, Minnesota, on a rape conviction during a federal enforcement operation. Authorities located him and took him into custody, transporting him to a detention facility pending removal proceedings related to his criminal history and unlawful presence.

Court records and federal documentation confirm Lee’s conviction for rape, reflecting forcible sexual assault involving non-consensual sexual contact with a victim. Officials stated that his case was identified through a systematic review of noncitizens with outstanding criminal convictions and immigration violations in the Faribault area. Authorities noted that sexual assault convictions are treated with particular attention in removal proceedings due to the serious harm inflicted upon victims and the significant public safety risk posed by individuals convicted of such crimes.

“Rape convictions represent serious violent offenses and receive the highest priority in immigration enforcement operations to protect potential victims from further harm,” a spokesman said.
