U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has apprehended a Ghanaian national who was convicted of sex crimes with a minor.
Joseph Osei Boateng was arrested on January 29 in Columbus, Ohio.
“Sex crimes against a minor threaten the very fabric of our communities,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Detroit Field Office Director Robert Lynch.
“Our ICE team will continue to identify and apprehend individuals amenable to removal who have victimized our most vulnerable population,” Lynch added.
The Ghanaian national legally entered the U.S. in 2019. He was convicted of two counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor by the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas in October 2024.
Boateng remains in ICE custody pending the outcome of his immigration proceedings.
