Waleska Betsabe Bustillo Lopez/Honduras/Child Neglect

ICE New Orleans arrested Waleska Betsabe Bustillo Lopez, a citizen of Honduras, during enforcement operations in Louisiana. Records confirm a conviction for child neglect, for which she was sentenced to 11 months and 29 days in custody. Following her criminal sentence, she was transferred into ICE custody, processed through intake, and booked into detention. She will remain there pending immigration proceedings before an immigration judge.

The conviction highlights a case involving the mistreatment of a minor, a serious offense formally documented through certified court records. Sentencing details and supporting documentation were added to her immigration case file to establish the grounds for removal. The case also reflects repeated law enforcement involvement tied to endangerment of a child, with consequences that extend into immigration enforcement actions.

During processing, ICE officers verified Bustillo Lopez’s identity through biometric checks, reviewed her immigration history for prior entries and violations, and compiled certified copies of her conviction and sentencing records. She remains detained in ICE custody until the immigration court issues a ruling on her removal.
