Pasmy Kannys/Micronesia/Sexual Offense Against Child

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Pasmy Kannys in Sturtevant, Wisconsin. The Micronesia national — in the country illegally — faces charges of sexual offense against child.

The charges filed against Kannys carry criminal penalties under state law and separately provide grounds for federal immigration enforcement. Local prosecutors will handle the criminal case through the state court system while federal immigration authorities pursue removal in a concurrent proceeding before an immigration judge, both matters moving simultaneously on independent timelines.

Kannys is currently in federal immigration custody awaiting a hearing before a Department of Justice immigration judge, which will determine whether removal to Micronesia is ordered.
