US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested Raphael Oludemilade-Adebowale, a Nigerian national, for convictions of larceny and money laundering in Massachusetts. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the arrest on Wednesday as part of its latest immigration enforcement operation. Adebowale, convicted in Massachusetts for stealing over $1,200 from an elderly individual and laundering money, had attempted to dismiss the indictment but was unsuccessful.
A jury subsequently found him guilty. Upon his arrest, Adebowale will face immigration proceedings and potential removal from the United States. DHS highlighted this case among others involving immigrants with criminal convictions in an announcement emphasizing ongoing immigration enforcement efforts. US Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin noted that ICE had arrested "murderers, pedophiles, stalkers, and other dangerous illegal aliens."
