U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has requested that a Kentucky jail hold Rolando Cenobio Vasquez, a Mexican citizen, who has been charged with rape, human trafficking, and sexual abuse. Vasquez was arrested on July 29 by Louisville police. According to authorities, he began abusing a 15-year-old girl in December 2025 while renting a room to her and her mother. ICE has lodged a detainer with the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections, asking that he not be released and instead be handed over for deportation proceedings. Vasquez has a prior conviction for driving under the influence and initially entered the U.S. illegally in August 2013 before being deported. The timeline of his reentry into the U.S. is unclear. Louisville is not classified as a sanctuary jurisdiction and has agreed to comply with federal immigration detainers.
