Illinois Quick Hits: DHS says ICE captures child sex abuser released by Illinois DOC
(The Center Square) – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security says U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have arrested a Guatemalan national who was released by Illinois officials even though he was in the country illegally and charged with child sex abuse.
DHS said in a statement that ICE arrested Erik Giovanni Quiroa on April 22 after he attempted to flee in his vehicle. Giovanni Quiroa was convicted last year for aggravated sexual abuse of a 5-year-old child and sentenced to three years in prison.
DHS said Gov. J.B. Pritzker and his fellow Illinois politicians released Giovanni Quiroa into the community even though ICE had lodged a detainer with the Illinois Department of Corrections.
Giovanni Quiroa was previously convicted of aggravated battery with a firearm in 2011 and sentenced to 16 years in prison.
