Jose Roberto Diaz Perez/Guatemala/Child Sex Offense – Fondling, Rape, Aggravated Sexual Battery

ICE New Orleans arrested Jose Roberto Diaz Perez, a citizen of Guatemala who is unlawfully present in the United States. According to court and law enforcement records, his criminal history includes convictions for child sex offenses involving fondling and rape, as well as aggravated sexual battery. He was taken into custody in the New Orleans area and processed for immigration detention while his case advances.

These offenses are prosecuted as serious felonies because they involve unlawful sexual conduct directed at a minor. Convictions of this kind reflect findings that the elements were proved beyond a reasonable doubt. Post conviction conditions often include incarceration, supervision, and restrictions designed to protect minors, and certified judgments become part of the record used in immigration proceedings.

Following his apprehension, officers completed biometric identity verification, compiled certified copies of the relevant judgments and sentencing orders, and documented immigration history for presentation in court. Diaz Perez remains detained while removal proceedings move forward before an immigration judge, with custody determinations made under federal statute and applicable regulations.

The criminal and immigration tracks proceed independently. Any obligations arising from the completed criminal cases are handled by the appropriate court system, while the immigration court addresses removability based on the existing convictions and current status. If a final order of removal is issued, officials will coordinate travel documentation with the receiving government and schedule transportation in accordance with standard procedures. Until those steps are completed, he remains in ICE custody under the governing custody determination.
