The Sheriff’s spokesperson emphasizes that the complete and total loss of the document was not intentional and that the Sheriff enjoys a good relationship with ICE and would never intentionally turn down a detainer request.  The Sheriff’s Department admits that the SNAFU was on its end and is taking action to provide a secure method of handling such electronic requests in the future.

Enforcement and Removal Operations Baltimore apprehended an unlawfully present 19-year-old Guatemalan national convicted of raping a Maryland resident. Deportation officers with ERO Baltimore’s Fugitive Operations Team arrested Henry Argueta-Tobar on Aug. 14 in Waldorf.

“After unlawfully entering our country, Henry Argueta-Tobar made his way to Maryland and victimized one of our residents,” said ERO Baltimore acting Deputy Field Office Director Vernon Liggins. “We could not allow him to continue to threaten our communities. ERO Baltimore will continue to prioritize public safety by relentlessly pursuing unlawfully present sexual predators and egregious criminal noncitizens.”U.S. Border Patrol apprehended Argueta on May 21, 2019, after he unlawfully entered the United States near El Paso, Texas, as an accompanied minor. Officials served Argueta with a notice to appear before a Department of Justice immigration judge.

On May 23, 2019, the U.S. Border Patrol transferred custody of Argueta-Tobar to ERO El Paso. Later that day, ERO El Paso released Argueta on an order of recognizance.

DISTRICT COURT DIPSTICK JUDGE PATRICK DEVINE LET ILLEGAL ALIEN LOOSE WITH AN ANKLE MONITOR

ERO Baltimore lodged an immigration detainer against Argueta on Dec. 27, 2023, with the Charles County Detention Center in La Plata.

The Charles County Jail refused to honor ERO Baltimore’s immigration detainer and released Argueta-Tobar from custody on an unknown date.

On Feb. 12, a Department of Justice immigration judge in Baltimore ordered Argueta-Tobar removed to Guatemala.

On July 3, the Circuit Court for Charles County convicted Argueta-Tobar of rape in the second degree and sentenced him to 20 years imprisonment followed by five years of supervised probation. The court then suspended all but 190 days of the prison sentence.

Convicted of rape, illegal alien sentence of 20 years reduced to 190 days in jail

Deportation officers from ERO Baltimore’s Fugitive Operations Team arrested Argueta in Waldorf. Argueta remains in ERO custody.

As part of its mission to identify and arrest removable noncitizens, ERO lodges immigration detainers against noncitizens arrested for criminal activity and taken into custody by state or local law enforcement. An immigration detainer is a request from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to state or local law enforcement agencies to notify ICE as early as possible before a removable noncitizen is released from their custody. Detainers request that state or local law enforcement agencies maintain custody of the noncitizen for a period not to exceed 48 hours beyond the time the individual would otherwise be released, allowing ERO to assume custody for removal purposes in accordance with federal law.

Detainers are critical public safety tools because they focus enforcement resources on removable noncitizens arrested for criminal activity. Detainers increase the safety of all parties involved — ERO personnel, law enforcement officials, removable noncitizens, and the public — by allowing an arrest in a secure and controlled custodial setting instead of at-large within the community. Because detainers result in the direct transfer of a noncitizen from state or local custody to ERO custody, they also minimize the potential that an individual will re-offend. Additionally, detainers conserve scarce government resources by allowing ERO to take criminal noncitizens into custody directly rather than expending resources locating these individuals at large.

ERO conducts removals of individuals without a lawful basis to remain in the United States, including at the order of immigration judges with the Justice Department’s Executive Office for Immigration Review. The Executive Office for Immigration Review is a separate entity from the Department of Homeland Security and ICE. Immigration judges in these courts make decisions based on the merits of each individual case, determining if a noncitizen is subject to a final order of removal or eligible for certain forms of relief from removal.

Members of the public can report crimes or suspicious activity by dialing 866-DHS-2-ICE (866-347-2423) or completing the ICE online tip form.
