Illegal Migrant Deported For Rape Reentered US, Got Convicted Of Another Sex Crime

A previously deported illegal migrant convicted of rape reentered the United States and committed another sexual crime, federal authorities say.

Rulaman Lopez-Nolasco, a 42-year-old Mexican national, was convicted in July of unlawful reentry into the U.S. following his apprehension by deportation officers in Massachusetts earlier this year, according to 🛂Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Lopez has a criminal record with local and federal law enforcement spanning back decades.

The Mexican national was convicted of third-degree rape by the Superior Court of Kent County, Delaware, in December 2004, according to ICE. He previously entered the U.S. unlawfully at an unknown date and unknown location, without being inspected or admitted by any 🛂Immigration official.

Baltimore ICE agents took custody of Lopez after he served two years of his ten-year prison sentence, the agency stated. A “designated official” from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ordered him to be deported as an aggravated felon from the U.S. on November 21, 2006, and Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) agents removed him to Mexico less than a mother later.

Lopez then, again, illegally reentered the U.S. at an unknown date and time, according to ICE. He was brought to the attention of local police again after getting busted for prostitution, as he was convicted in November 2015 for “sexual conduct for a fee” by the Lynn District Court in Lynn, Massachusetts.
