Ge Yang/Laos/Strongarm Rape, Aggravated Assault With A Weapon, Domestic Violence-Strangulation

Ge Yang, a criminal illegal alien from Laos, has a final order of removal dated Oct. 16, 2012, but remained in the United States until recently taken into custody during a Minnesota enforcement surge. Publicly released summaries state that Yang was convicted of strongarm rape, a forcible sexual assault offense involving significant violence. He has also been convicted of strongarm aggravated assault against a family member and aggravated assault with a weapon, reflecting violent attacks within a household and the use of a dangerous weapon.​

In addition, Yang was convicted of another sex offense and a domestic violence offense involving strangulation, an especially serious form of assault that can cause severe injury or death. Federal and local coverage list him among foreign nationals with long‑standing deportation orders whose criminal histories include multiple violent and sexual offenses against intimate partners and other victims.
