“ICE HSI arrested Yusuf at his Lake Street apartment. They had previously attempted to make this arrest, but the apartment manager obstructed federal law enforcement agents by preventing them from entering the building and actively protected this known, convicted sex offender. This time, ICE was successful,” it said.
“Local sanctuary policies and continued misinformation about what ICE operations actually entail continue to fuel these irresponsible, dangerous acts of obstructing law enforcement,” HSI Special Agent in Charge Mark Zito said. “Every time local jurisdictions refuse to cooperate with ICE, and every time activists use their ridiculous whistles and bullhorns to alert criminal aliens, they are helping violent offenders, including convicted sex predators like this one, escape justice.”
