ICE Asks Lexington to Not Release Depraved Criminal Illegal Alien Charged with Kidnapping and Raping Child in Lexington, Kentucky

 7 out of the 10 safest cities in the U.S. cooperate with ICE

WASHINGTON –– U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged an arrest detainer requesting Lexington not release Jorge Luis Martinez-Ulloa, a 31-year-old criminal illegal alien from Honduras, who local police arrested for kidnapping, rape of a child under the age of 12, sodomy of a minor, assault, and strangulation in Lexington, Kentucky.

On March 29, 2026, ICE requested the Fayette County Jail not release this child predator back into American communities without notifying ICE. According to local reports, Martinez-Ulloa kidnapped the child and trapped her in an apartment where he is accused of grabbing her by her neck and raping her.

“This criminal illegal alien kidnapped and raped a child. ICE is requesting Lexington not release this child predator without notification to ICE law enforcement. Thankfully, Lexington cooperates with ICE, so this pedophile will not be released from jail back into American neighborhoods,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “We need more cities and states to cooperate with us to help remove sickos like this from our country. Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, ICE will continue arresting and removing child rapists from our country.”

Martinez-Ulloa illegally entered the U.S. in 2012, under the Obama administration, near Laredo, Texas. He was removed back to Honduras and Martinez-Ulloa then chose to commit a felony and illegally re-enter the country three times on February 26, 2021, February 28, 2021, and March 7, 2021, under the Biden administration. He chose once again to commit a felony by illegally re-entering the country a fifth time at an unknown location and date.

ICE is working around the clock to remove criminals with no right to be in the U.S. Americans can report tips to ICE by using the ICE Tip Line at 1-866-DHS-2-ICE (1-866-347-2423) or visiting the official ICE website at www.ice.gov.
