Federal immigration officials arrested an illegal alien who is a registered sex offender in North Carolina on July 24, one month after Orange County officials released him from custody without informing the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Udiel Aguilar-Castellanos, a Mexican national, was arrested in the town of Carrboro, said ICE in a statement on July 25. Aguilar-Castellanos agreed to plead guilty to two counts of sexual battery on June 27, for sexually abusing a pre-teen girl and had to register as a sex offender as part of a plea deal to avoid prison. He was released by Orange County officials that same day.
