Eduardo Canizal Salgado-Martinez, 45, of Mexico, was convicted in 2005 of first-degree felony rape of a child in Benton County, Washington.
ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Seattle announced the recent arrests on Thursday. Among those apprehended is Eduardo Canizal Salgado-Martinez, 45, of Mexico, who was convicted in 2005 of first-degree felony rape of a child in Benton County, Washington.
Court documents show he pleaded guilty to charges and received a one-year jail sentence. Salgado-Martinez was arrested again in 2010 for violating release conditions, showing he was charged with assault with sexual motivation, per court filings. ICE said he is in the country illegally.
Anel Heshan Jayasuriya, 51, of Sri Lanka, was taken into custody by ICE ERO Seattle in Oregon, where he committed a lengthy list of sexual offenses in 2014, according to court documents. Jayasuriya was given a sweetheart plea deal by the Washington County District Attorney's Office in Oregon, allowing him to plead guilty to rape, two counts of first-degree sexual abuse, and second-degree sexual abuse. Court records show he was initially charged with 14 sex offenses.
He was sentenced in 2016 to more than six years in prison. Jayasuriya has been unlawfully residing in the US, said ICE.
Both Washington state and Oregon are "sanctuary states," and do not honor immigration detainers due to policies that prohibit local and state law enforcement from notifying ICE when an illegal alien charged and/or convicted of a crime is released from custody. This means ICE agents have to target criminal migrants who were released into the community to potentially reoffend, instead of safely taking them into federal custody from jails.
ICE Seattle has recently increased immigration enforcement operations in the Seattle metro area, targeting areas with rampant crime. Recent video footage shows federal agents surging in Everett, Washington, an area known for the sale of illicit narcotics. Several illegal aliens were arrested by ICE.
ICE also made recent arrests in Redmond, a self-declared sanctuary city east of Seattle, and Puyallup, a moderate city just south of the Emerald City, according to bystander video. The Post Millennial reached out to ICE for comment to find out more information on the detained subjects. ICE ERO Seattle operates in Washington, Oregon, and Alaska.
