Immigration agents arrested an illegal migrant sex offender employed as a professor at a major American university on Nov. 12.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers arrested Sri Lankan national Sumith Gunasekera in Detroit, Michigan, the agency confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation. Gunasekera, previously arrested in Canada and the U.S. for various crimes, worked as a professor of data science and analytics at Ferris State University, a public institution in Big Rapids, Michigan.
“It’s sickening that a sex offender was working as a professor on an American college campus and was given access to vulnerable students to potentially victimize them,” Department of Homeland (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a Tuesday statement obtained by the DCNF.
“Thanks to the brave ICE law enforcement officers this sicko is behind bars and no longer able to prey on Americans,” McLaughlin continued. “His days of exploiting the immigration system are OVER.”
