Kelvin Emanuel Granados-Sorto, 30, a Honduran national who entered the US illegally, was arrested by ICE on Thursday, April 11, after being transferred from the Maryland Department of Corrections, according to federal officials.
Granados-Sorto was convicted in Prince George’s County on May 12, 2023, of a third-degree sex offense. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison. ICE lodged a detainer on him two months later, in July 2023.
Federal officials say Granados-Sorto entered the country at an unknown location and date without being inspected or admitted by immigration authorities.
“This arrest sends a clear message: when jurisdictions cooperate with ICE, communities are safer,” said ICE Baltimore acting Field Office Director Nikita Baker.
“Today, there is one less predator in our neighborhoods and one less victim tomorrow. This is what public safety looks like when we prioritize the protection of our communities over politics.”
Granados-Sorto remains in ICE custody pending his removal to Honduras.
A Department of Justice immigration judge ordered him removed from the United States in October 2023.
