Joao Pedro Prates/Brazil/Rape of a Vulnerable Person

ICE New Orleans deported Joao Pedro Prates, a citizen of Brazil, under a final order of removal. Records confirm he is a foreign fugitive wanted by Brazilian law enforcement for the crime of rape of a vulnerable person. Following coordination with federal partners, he was taken into custody, processed, and booked into ICE detention prior to removal.

The outstanding warrant issued in Brazil classified the offense as a serious sexual crime targeting a vulnerable victim. Documentation from Brazilian authorities was verified and certified, and these records were formally entered into his immigration case file. The outstanding fugitive status ensured priority handling under immigration enforcement procedures.

During removal preparations, ICE officers conducted biometric verification to confirm his identity, reviewed his immigration history, and coordinated directly with Brazilian law enforcement to arrange the transfer. Prates was placed on a removal flight and transferred to Brazilian authorities without incident. His deportation formally concluded U.S. jurisdiction over his case, leaving further legal action to Brazilian courts.
