On September 23, ICE arrested Dimitri Vorbe, an illegal alien and citizen of Haiti, for violations of the Immigration and Nationality Act, including actions that contributed to the destabilization of Haiti.
The case was investigated jointly by ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), with support from the U.S. Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Service and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ Fraud Detection and National Security Directorate.
According to officials, the Department of State determined that Vorbe’s presence or activities in the United States could have “potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences,” forming the basis for his removability. Specifically, authorities say Vorbe engaged in a campaign of violence and gang support that contributed to Haiti’s ongoing destabilization.
Vorbe is currently in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.
This arrest, ICE said, reflects the Trump administration’s commitment to protecting the American people, advancing U.S. national security interests, and promoting regional stability in the Caribbean.
