HARTFORD, CT — Another day, another criminal illegal alien committing unspeakable crimes in a sanctuary state, this time the “Constitution State" of Connecticut.
A press release issued by the Department of Homeland Security said that on Sept. 11, 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged an arrest detainer against a criminal illegal alien, Ludvi Carias-Interiano, for aggravated sexual assault and unlawful restraint. He stands accused of raping a young jogger in New Haven, CT., on Aug. 9, 2025, while holding a box cutter to her throat.
WFSB reported at the time that a woman told police she was jogging on a trail south of the Fort Hale Dog Park at around 7 a.m. when she was sexually assaulted. She described the man as Hispanic with cropped hair and a short beard, around 5’6” in his late 30s or early 40s. She said she was training for a marathon and had been running about 30 minutes when she was attacked.
Chief Karl Jacobson of the New Haven Police Department told reporters that the department was reviewing video footage in the area.
“We’re still reviewing footage, we still need tips. We’ve gotten some tips from the community, but whether you think it's small or big, please call us with any kind of information,” he said at the time.
The brazen daytime sexual assault shook city residents, including Bria Stanfield of New Haven.
“You should be able to go everywhere and be safe, wherever you are,” she said. It’s sad; it’s a shame.”
NBC Connecticut reported that Interiano, 34, a Guatemalan national, was arrested on Sept 12 by city police. He was being held on $750,000 bond. If he happens to make bond, Connecticut, as a sanctuary state, where the so-called “Trust Act” was recently reinforced by the liberals in Hartford, will not notify ICE, and he will have to be picked up on the street.
“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,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “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. These sanctuary politicians put American lives in danger.”
The victim fully cooperated with investigators and an FBI sketch artist to provide a detailed description of the suspect. A forensic examination conducted at Yale New Haven Hospital collected DNA evidence from items on the scene, which later matched through the FBI’s Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) to an unknown profile from a 2016 Texas case.
After Carias-Interiano was arrested, Jacobson told reporters the DNA from New Haven’s case matched an unsolved sexual assault in Plano, Texas.
“The state lab was able to identify a DNA profile, which was compared with a national database, leading to an unsolved sex assault in Plano, Texas. Detectives in that case were able to develop a suspect,” Jacobson said.
Plano investigators obtained swabs from Carias-Interiano in connection with a 2016 assault of a male minor and the sexual assault of a female minor, NBC Connecticut reported. For unknown reasons, he was never arrested in connection with the Plano case. His DNA matched samples from the Texas investigation.
New Haven Mayor Justin Elicker, an illegal alien apologist, praised the city’s approach to violent crime, which, in this case, was permitted to occur because of Connecticut and New Haven’s coddling of illegal aliens.
“Sexual assault is heinous, and everyone deserves to be safe in New Haven. Every woman deserves to be safe in New Haven. This case was a very, very high priority for us,” Elicker said. “Texas did not arrest this person; New Haven arrested this person. We focus on violent crime, and we hold people accountable, no matter who they are. That is something we will continue to do, and we ensure that this person is held accountable in our city.”
Carias-Interiano was deported from the United States twice during President Trump’s first term; however, he returned unlawfully on an unknown date and location.

These repeat offenders should be put down like rabid dogs. That should apply to illegals who have to be deported multiple times. Us having to put up with the criminality of legal residents and citizens is enough to deal with. We shouldn't have to deal with illegal immigrants committing crimes, too.
