Segundo Serafin Sanchez/Ecuador/Sex Offense

ICE New Orleans deported Segundo Serafin Sanchez, a citizen of Ecuador. Court records reflect a conviction for a sex offense involving fondling of a child. The offense involves unlawful sexual contact with a minor and is prosecuted as a serious felony due to the victim’s age and the nonconsensual nature of the conduct. The conviction confirms that the elements were proved beyond a reasonable doubt and that Sanchez was adjudicated guilty before his immigration transfer.

Investigations in cases involving child victims typically include victim or caregiver statements, medical and forensic examinations, and corroborating digital or physical evidence showing contact and intent. Prosecutors may introduce communications, location data, or testimony establishing opportunity and identity. Sentences commonly include incarceration, post release supervision, and court orders restricting contact with minors. Those judgments and conditions become part of the official record reviewed in immigration proceedings.

After the custodial portion of the criminal case concluded, immigration authorities assumed custody of Sanchez for removal processing under federal law. Standard steps included biometric identity verification, collection of certified copies of the judgment and sentencing orders, and coordination of travel documentation with the Government of Ecuador. Once documentation was complete and a repatriation itinerary was scheduled, officers escorted Sanchez on a removal flight in accordance with agency transport protocols. Upon arrival overseas, he was transferred to Ecuadorian authorities for any actions deemed appropriate under local law. The deportation closes the United States custody portion of the immigration matter associated with his conviction.
