U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers arrested Sumith Gunasekera, a Sri Lankan national, in Detroit on November 12, 2025. Gunasekera was identified as a criminal illegal alien with a history of sexual offenses and was working as a professor at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan. His record includes Canadian arrests in 1998 for death threats and sexual interference involving a minor, and a 1998 conviction for threatening death or bodily harm and sexual interference. In 2003 he was arrested in Las Vegas for open and gross lewdness, and in 2004 convicted of disorderly conduct. He entered U.S. in February 1998, left for Canada, and returned on a visa. In 2012 a change‑of‑status application with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services revealed his Canadian convictions. Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said the arrest prevented potential victimization of students. ICE has placed Gunasekera in custody pending further immigration proceedings.
