The Baltimore office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested a record number of illegal immigrant sex offenders this fiscal year.

The office’s record of 152 was broken in late August when officers from ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) in Baltimore apprehended Madai Gamaliel Amaya, a Honduran national convicted of rape, according to a Sept. 6 statement.
