Efren Mauricio Guallpa-Shurshanay/Ecuador/Sexual Assault

ICE officers arrested 43-year-old Ecuadorian national Efren Mauricio Guallpa-Shurshanay in Danbury, Connecticut, during a targeted enforcement operation focused on criminal aliens with serious prior offenses. Guallpa-Shurshanay is an illegal alien whose criminal history in the United States includes a 2008 conviction for sexual assault, marking him as a significant public safety concern.​

Authorities identified him as one of multiple offenders taken into custody in Connecticut who had either serious U.S. convictions, gang ties, or criminal histories in their home countries.

Guallpa-Shurshanay will remain in ICE custody while his immigration case proceeds, with federal officials indicating that his prior sex assault conviction places him among the high‑priority targets for removal.
