Walter Ramirez/Cuba/Rape, Drug-Induced Sexual Assault of a Minor, Domestic Violence

Walter Ramirez, a citizen of Cuba, was arrested by ICE San Diego and transferred to federal custody for immigration processing. Case materials reviewed at the time of arrest identify prior U.S. convictions for rape and drug-induced sexual assault of a minor, along with a separate conviction for domestic violence. Intake has begun to determine custody status and place the matter on the immigration court calendar.

According to the file, the rape and drug-induced sexual assault counts were adjudicated in state court and are recorded as final judgments; the domestic violence offense was entered in a separate proceeding. No additional convictions were listed in the arrest notice, and no new criminal charges were announced at custody transfer. Ramirez remains in ICE custody pending removal to Cuba, subject to standard scheduling and travel coordination.

Standard steps now include a custody review, docketing of an initial appearance, and notice of subsequent hearing dates. Any matters related to the prior criminal cases continue in the jurisdictions where they were adjudicated and proceed separately from immigration processing.
