In a shocking twist of justice, Democratic leaders in Baltimore County, Maryland, are accused of aiding a convicted illegal alien sex offender in escaping deportation, leaving a community in disbelief and raising questions about the integrity of the legal system.
In a concerning turn of events, officials from the Democratic leadership in Baltimore County, Maryland, are accused of aiding a convicted illegal alien sex offender in evading deportation measures. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials assert that Raul Calderon-Interiano, a 25-year-old Guatemalan national, was allowed to roam free in the community for weeks due to the suspension of his prison sentence by county authorities.
Calderon-Interiano's journey into the United States began near Laredo, Texas, in June 2014, when he arrived as an unaccompanied alien child (UAC). After being issued a Notice to Appear (NTA) in federal immigration court, he was transferred to an adult sponsor in Maryland by the Office of Refugee Resettlement in November 2014. Despite a federal immigration judge ordering his deportation in October 2015 due to a failure to appear in court, Calderon-Interiano remained in the country.
However, his presence came under scrutiny when in January 2023, the Baltimore County Police Department arrested and charged him with multiple counts, including sexual abuse of a minor and assault. ICE promptly lodged a detainer against him upon his arrest, seeking custody should he be released from jail.
In April 2024, the Circuit Court for Baltimore County convicted Calderon-Interiano of sexual contact and assault charges, sentencing him to six years in prison along with probation. Despite this sentence, the court chose to suspend his prison term, mandating only his registration as a sex offender. Instead of being handed over to ICE for deportation, Calderon-Interiano was released from the Baltimore County Detention Center.
However, his freedom was short-lived, as ICE agents arrested him on May 29 outside his residence in Baltimore. He now awaits deportation while in custody.
