An illegal immigrant from Mexico charged with multiple counts of rape in Oakland County was tracked down by immigration officials and turned over to the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office earlier this week.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) tracked down Miguel Angel Davila-Ruiz, 33, at a southwest Detroit home, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Davila-Ruiz was wanted by the Sheriff’s Office regarding four counts of criminal sexual conduct with a minor in Pontiac.

Deputies had been looking for Davila-Ruiz since July, when the warrant was issued. Efforts began between ERO and sheriff’s deputies to catch him, and a $2,000 reward was offered for information leading to his arrest.Davila-Ruiz, now in custody with the Sheriff’s Office, will be turned back over to ICE once any criminal convictions and sentencing have been completed. ICE will then begin the process of deporting Davila-Ruiz.

“The arrest of this alleged violent criminal alien is at the absolute core of what we do,” stated Rebecca Adducci, field office director for ERO Detroit, in a press release.

Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said teamwork was the key to the arrest. All of the sheriff office’s partners were searching for Davila-Ruiz since July, Bouchard said.

“It is great when our work with our law enforcement partners results in removing dangerous criminals from our streets,” Bouchard stated in the release.

“I thank ICE for their work and look forward to holding this perpetrator responsible for all his crimes,” said Bouchard. “And I’m certainly appreciative of ERO’s hard work in this case.”

Interesting to see immigration status and country of origin both mentioned in the headline of an article about crimes. The media needs to do that more often.
