Sebastian Diego/Guatemala/Child Abuse, Neglect, Domestic Assault, Public Intoxication, Theft

ERO New Orleans arrested Sebastian Diego, a citizen of Guatemala and an illegal alien residing in the United States, during enforcement actions aimed at individuals with extensive criminal histories posing a threat to public safety. Diego, thirty-nine, became a priority for ICE officers due to his lengthy criminal record, which spans multiple offenses ranging from violent crimes to property-related violations and identity deception.

Among his most serious charges is child abuse and neglect, a deeply troubling offense that endangers the health and well-being of vulnerable minors. Court documents allege that Diego was involved in incidents that placed a child at significant risk of harm, prompting swift intervention by local authorities. Such crimes are taken extremely seriously under U.S. law, with severe consequences for perpetrators.

Diego’s record further includes arrests for domestic assault and domestic violence, offenses reflecting a pattern of violent behavior within intimate or household relationships. Repeated acts of domestic violence indicate an ongoing threat to individuals in close contact with the offender and often lead to protective orders and further legal action.

Additionally, Diego has faced charges for larceny, theft, criminal impersonation, and trespassing, highlighting a disregard for property laws and personal boundaries. His criminal history also includes public intoxication and multiple failures to appear in court, complicating efforts by law enforcement to ensure his compliance with the justice system.

At the time of his arrest, Diego had no legal status permitting him to remain in the United States. ICE officers apprehended him without incident, and he will remain in custody pending removal proceedings. His extensive criminal background underscores the serious public safety concerns associated with allowing individuals like Diego to continue residing unlawfully in the U.S.
