Persy Oswaldo Marroquin Rodriguez/Guatemala/Rape

ICE New Orleans arrested Persy Oswaldo Marroquin Rodriguez, a citizen of Guatemala. Court records reflect a felony conviction for rape. He was located by officers assigned to the New Orleans area, taken into custody without incident, and processed for immigration detention while his administrative case moves forward before an immigration judge.

Rape statutes penalize nonconsensual sexual acts accomplished by force, threats, or intimidation. Prosecutions of this type are typically built on a combination of victim statements, corroborating witness accounts, medical and forensic examinations, and digital or physical evidence that links the offender to the conduct. A felony judgment confirms that a court found the statutory elements proved beyond a reasonable doubt. Sentences in such cases frequently include a period of incarceration followed by supervision conditions and protective orders tailored to the facts established in the record. Certified judgment and sentencing documents from the concluded criminal case now form part of the immigration file.

Following his apprehension, officers completed biometric identity verification, assembled certified copies of the conviction records, and reviewed immigration history for presentation in court. Marroquin Rodriguez remains detained while removal proceedings are scheduled, including custody review and hearings before an immigration judge. The criminal and immigration matters proceed on separate tracks: the completed state judgment establishes the record of conviction, while the immigration court addresses custody and removability under federal law. If a final order of removal is issued, officials will coordinate travel documentation with the receiving government and arrange transportation in accordance with established procedures. Until that process is complete, detention continues under the current custody determination and applicable regulations.
