Immigration Agent Charged With Sexual Assault

It is evident that the dangers of immigration are present when entering a country illegally. Not only putting your life in danger and coming to a country where everything is unfamiliar but not knowing what lye in ones future is something of great concern.


A Jamaican women was being transformed from a Miami-Dade detention center to one in Broward by an immigration agent, 35-year-old Wilfredo Vazquez, who took her to his home instead and raped her.

"A criminal complaint filed in Miami federal court alleges that Wilfredo Vazquez, 35, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent, sexually assaulted the 39-year-old Jamaican mother of two on the afternoon of Sept. 21 at his Tamarac home."

Vazquez has denied the accusations and stated that he had only stopped once to get gas. But the investigators found out that he indeed had stopped more than once, and this being in the place where the crime took charge, according to an affidavit by Homeland Security. The affidavit also showed that he had got on an on ramp near his home. The victim also described in detail the neighborhood and the Vazquez home.

This has been the first case since 2000 and now they have removed all females from the Miami-Dade detention center. U.S. customs and Immigration reported that they have fired Vazquez eve since the accusations.
