Kuljeet Singh/India/Child Molestation, Luring, Unlawful Imprisonment

Officers with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Seattle arrested Kuljeet Singh, a 28-year-old illegal alien, on December 1. Singh was wanted in Washington State for multiple serious charges including child molestation in the third degree, luring, unlawful imprisonment, and assault in the fourth degree.

An ICE spokesman addressed the arrest with a firm statement on the agency’s priorities: “Protecting kids is non-negotiable.” Authorities emphasized that offenders who target minors are among the highest enforcement priorities for removal operations.

Singh is currently off the streets and in federal custody on the path to deportation. Officials noted that crimes involving the exploitation and abuse of children demand immediate action to prevent further harm. ICE Seattle continues conducting targeted enforcement operations to locate and apprehend noncitizens with outstanding warrants for violent and predatory offenses against vulnerable victims.
