U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers arrested a 53-year-old Nigerian man on April 21, 2026, due to his prior arrests for serious sexual offenses.
Olatunde Abiodun Olusanjo was taken into custody in the Los Angeles area. According to ICE, Olusanjo has previous arrests for child molestation, sexual battery, and soliciting lewd conduct.
He is now being held in ICE custody while removal proceedings are underway. Immigration authorities are preparing to deport him from the United States.This arrest is part of ongoing ICE efforts to prioritize the removal of noncitizens who have criminal convictions or arrests, especially those involving sexual offenses against minors or other vulnerable individuals.
Under U.S. immigration law, such criminal histories often make individuals ineligible to remain in the country and subject to mandatory deportation after serving any criminal sentences.
No additional details about the specific dates, locations, or outcomes of Olusanjo’s prior cases were released in the initial announcement.
ICE has not commented further on the matter at this time.Deportations of this nature are standard when noncitizens accumulate certain criminal records, reflecting broader enforcement priorities aimed at public safety.
