Derrick Sserwanja/Uganda/Sexual Exploitation Of A Minor Via Telecommunications

Ugandan national Derrick Sserwanja was arrested by U.S. immigration officers at Fort Snelling, Minnesota, following his conviction for sexual exploitation of a minor via telecommunications. Court records from Minnesota show that Sserwanja used electronic communications to engage in criminal conduct involving a minor, leading to a felony conviction under state law.

According to publicly available information, federal immigration authorities took Sserwanja into custody after his conviction and listed him in a national database of foreign nationals with serious criminal records.

He is currently being held in immigration custody while officials determine whether he will be removed from the United States, a process that can involve immigration court hearings and potential appeals. No final decision on his immigration case has been announced.
