ICE New York City removes 2 illegally present felons convicted of kidnapping and homicide
NEW YORK — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement removed two illegally present Jamaican nationals convicted of felony offenses, Feb. 27.
Nascimento Blair, 44, entered the United States as a nonimmigrant March 4, 2004, and violated the terms of his admission. The Mount Vernon Police Department arrested Blair for first degree kidnapping Oct. 12, 2005, a crime for which he was convicted and sentenced to 15 years in prison. An immigration judge ordered Blair removed from the U.S. Aug. 4, 2008. Blair filed an appeal with the Board of Immigration Appeals, but the BIA dismissed his appeal Nov. 6, 2008. The New York State Department of Corrections released Blair on parole April 9, 2020. ICE New York City arrested him July 16, 2024.
Nevel Larey Heslop, 67, entered the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident on or about Aug. 18, 1984. Heslop was convicted of homicide in New Jersey Nov. 1, 1991, and sentenced to 30 years in prison. An immigration judge ordered Heslop removed from the United States June 14, 1996. Heslop filed an appeal with the BIA which was dismissed April 23, 1997. The ICE office in Mount Laurel, New Jersey arrested Heslop April 23, 2021, upon his release from local custody. However, Jamaica would not grant a travel document while he filed a motion to reopen his appeal, so ICE release him on an order of supervision. ICE New York City arrested Heslop Feb. 4, 2025.
Both aliens remained in ICE custody until their removal from the U.S.
