Boxcutter-Wielding Man Arrested For Rape Of Young Jogger Is Twice Deported Illegal Immigrant

A boxcutter-wielding Guatemalan man accused of violently raping a young jogger in New Haven, Connecticut, last month is an illegal immigrant who has already been deported twice, The Daily Wire has learned.

Guatemalan illegal immigrant Ludvi Carias-Interiano, 34, allegedly tackled the female victim to the ground 30 minutes into her marathon training on August 9, according to the New Haven Register. The man held a boxcutter to her throat as he “repeatedly” raped her before running away. Carias-Interiano admitted to investigators that he engaged in sexual activity, but claimed it was consensual, the report noted.

The feds deported Carias-Interiano twice during President Donald Trump’s first term in office, but he later snuck back in undetected, Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told The Daily Wire.

Police finally nabbed Carias-Interiano at his home in nearby West Haven last week thanks to DNA evidence, which gave them a “hit” and also tied him to an unsolved sexual assault in Plano, Texas, according to the local news outlet.

He was also arrested in 2016 in Texas for allegedly assaulting a child.

New Haven Police Chief Karl Jacobson earlier this month said that the victim was “shaken,” but still came forward to help law enforcement hunt down her attacker.

ICE lodged a detainer on September 11 for local cops in Connecticut to hand over Carias-Interiano “to ensure” he’s “not released on U.S. streets to terrorize more innocent women,” McLaughlin said.

“This criminal illegal alien should have NEVER been in our country in the first place to commit this heinous rape of a young woman jogging in the park. This violent criminal has prior charges for sexual assault of a minor and violent assault,” she said.

McLaughlin expressed concern over Connecticut’s “recently reinforced” Trust Act that has “severely limited” local authorities’ ability to work with ICE, “effectively making them a sanctuary state.”

“ICE lodged an arrest detainer to ensure this criminal illegal alien is not released on U.S. streets to terrorize more innocent women. Unfortunately, Connecticut is a sanctuary state that protects predators like Carias-Interiano by refusing to work with ICE,” she said. “These sanctuary politicians put American lives in danger.”
