ICE Asks Officials in Florida to Not Release Illegal Alien Accused of Sexually Assaulting a 12-Year-Old Girl

This illegal alien from Guatemala was RELEASED by the Biden Administration

WASHINGTON - The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued the following statement after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged a detainer asking officials in Florida to not release from jail an illegal alien who has been charged with sexual battery of a victim under 12.

On May 9, 2026, police in Martin County, Florida arrested Henry Roldan Perez-Roblero, a criminal illegal alien from Guatemala, on the felony charge of sexual battery of a victim under 12.

According to local reports, Perez-Roblero, a 20-year-old illegal alien, was caught having sex with a 12-year-old girl. Investigators believe that the abuse was not limited to a single incident and occurred repeatedly over the previous two years, starting when the victim was just 10 years old.

"This monster from Guatemala is accused of repeatedly sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl over the last two years," said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. "He is now charged with sexual battery of a victim under the age of 12. This sicko was released into our country by the Biden Administration. ICE lodged an arrest detainer and will ensure with our Florida partners this creep is NEVER released back onto the streets to victimize another innocent child."

Perez-Roblero illegally entered the United States in Arizona as an unaccompanied minor in January 2021 and was released by the Biden Administration. A Department of Justice Immigration Judge issued Perez-Roblero a final order of removal on January 22, 2025.
