Story summary

Four out of 11 suspected sex offenders arrested during a police sting operation in Indiana are illegal immigrants from four different countries, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The suspects believed they were meeting underage girls for sexual encounters but instead encountered undercover detectives. El Hadji Babacar Ndiaye, a Senegalese citizen, was released after being caught at the southern border in September 2023 by the Biden administration; Lucky Philip Udoudo, a Nigerian citizen who entered as a "gotaway"; Filomeno Ricardo Flores Marin, a Mexican citizen who entered illegally in Arizona in 2002; and David Josue Gomez-Posada, a Salvadoran citizen who came into the U.S. illegally in 2017 as a juvenile are among those arrested. ICE has requested detainer requests for these four suspects, but DHS is calling on Indiana to honor their detainers, stating that "all of their claims will be heard by an immigration judge and they will receive due process."
