Officials in Baltimore County, Maryland, helped a convicted illegal alien sex offender evade deportation for weeks by suspending his prison sentence and setting him loose into the community, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials say.
Raul Calderon-Interiano, a 25-year-old Guatemalan national, first arrived at the United States-Mexico border near Laredo, Texas, as an unaccompanied alien child in June 2014.
In November 2014, Calderon-Interiano was transferred by the Office of Refugee Resettlement to an adult sponsor in Maryland.
Calderon-Interiano was not deported, and, in January 2023, the Baltimore County Police Department arrested and charged him with sexual abuse of a minor, attempted sexual abuse of a minor, third-degree sexual offense, third-degree attempted sexual offense, and second-degree assault.
In April 2024, the Circuit Court for Baltimore County convicted Calderon-Interiano of fourth-degree sexual contact and second-degree assault.
The court suspended Calderon-Interiano's prison sentence but required him to register as a sex offender.
The Baltimore County Detention Center released Calderon-Interiano from jail instead of turning him over to ICE agents for deportation.
