NEWARK, N.J. — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested Jorge Luis Sanchez-Luna, a 45-year-old Mexican national and registered sex offender, in Newark on Feb. 4, officials announced.
“Sanchez-Luna is a deviant criminal who has a record of repeat heinous offenses against a minor,” said Arthur J. Wilson Jr., deputy field office director for ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Newark. “ERO Newark considers this insidious child abuse a danger to our communities and seeks justice for the traumatized victim.”
Sanchez-Luna entered the United States on Oct. 29, 2015, as a lawful permanent resident through New York. On July 12, 2024, the New Jersey Superior Court in Monmouth County convicted him of endangering the welfare of a child through sexual conduct as a caretaker.
He was sentenced to parole supervision for life and was required to register as a sex offender under Megan’s Law.
Following his arrest, ICE issued a notice to appear before a Department of Justice immigration judge, where his case will proceed.
