Ecuadorean migrant nabbed at US border deported to face child rape charges

A migrant nabbed after crossing the US border was deported back to Ecuador where he faces charges of child rape, officials said Wednesday.

Rolando Vladimir Larrea-Flores, 51, was detained by US Border Patrol agents in New Mexico on June 6 after crossing into the country illegally, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.

The feds ran a check on Larrea-Flores and found out he had an active warrant for his arrest in Ecuador on charges that he raped a minor.

Larrea-Flores was then taken by Enforcement and Removal Operations officers in Denver last week and escorted on a flight to Jose Joaquin de Olmedo International Airport in Guayaquil, Ecuador.

Once he arrived, US feds turned him over to local authorities.

“When people try to flee justice in their home country by running to ours, we will return them,” Kelei Walker, acting field office director of the ERO field office in Denver, said in a statement.

“I’m proud of the hard work ERA Denver officers do every day to ensure our communities stay safe from those that wish to harm others,” Walker said.

Removal operations officials arrested more than 46,000 migrants with criminal histories in the 2022 fiscal year, with charges — and in some cases convictions — that included homicide, kidnapping, assault, sexual assault and weapons possession, the agency reported.

Larrea-Flores was detained near Santa Teresa, New Mexico.
