Juan Rodriguez/Dominican Republic/Homicide

ICE New Orleans deported Juan Rodriguez, a citizen of the Dominican Republic. Court records reflect a conviction for homicide, for which Rodriguez received an 11-year sentence. Homicide convictions of this type are entered when prosecutors prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant’s actions caused another person’s death under the applicable state statute. Evidence in such cases often includes witness testimony, forensic findings, autopsy reports, and physical or digital records that establish causation, intent level, and identity. The length of the sentence indicates the court’s assessment of aggravating and mitigating factors presented at sentencing.

After the criminal portion of the case concluded, immigration authorities assumed custody to carry out removal under federal law. Processing steps included biometric identity verification, collection of certified judgment and sentencing documents, and coordination of travel authorization with the Government of the Dominican Republic. Once documentation was complete, Rodriguez was scheduled on a repatriation itinerary in accordance with established transport protocols and escorted by officers to the departure point.

Upon arrival overseas, Rodriguez was transferred to Dominican authorities for any actions deemed appropriate under local law and policy. The removal concludes the United States custody associated with the immigration matter that followed his homicide conviction. The criminal judgment and sentencing orders remain part of the permanent record considered in immigration databases, as well as in any future admissibility determinations should he seek entry at a later date. No additional information is being released beyond confirmation of the conviction, the sentence imposed by the court, and the completion of the removal process to his country of citizenship.
