ICE, US Border Patrol nab Venezuelan illegal alien with alleged child sexually abusive material

DETROIT — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Border Patrol apprehended a Venezuelan illegal alien who is now facing charges for the alleged production of child sexually abusive material with a toddler-aged minor.

Gibraltar Border Patrol Station agents arrested Luis Angel Alvarez-Alvarez, an ICE fugitive with a final order of removal, Feb. 11 in the River Rouge suburb of Detroit.

During a subsequent search of his cellular device, officers discovered the alleged child sexually abusive material and contacted ICE Homeland Security Investigations.

ICE HSI agents’ investigation determined the material depicted the sexual abuse of a child. Alvarez-Alvarez was arrested and charged with production and possession of child pornography.

Alvarez-Alvarez remains in custody pending the disposition of his charges.

This case is being prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan.
