U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested a Jamaican fugitive wanted in his home country for shooting with intent, and removed Leroy Neville White, 30, from the United States to Jamaica on Jan. 30 and turned him over to Jamaican authorities.
White was convicted in Connecticut for threatening first degree with hazard to terrorize.
“Leroy Neville White attempted to flee justice in his home country and take refuge in the United States. He then continued to break the law in Connecticut,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde. “White is a violent criminal and presented a significant threat to the residents of our neighborhoods. ICE will not tolerate such a threat. We will continue to arrest and remove egregious alien offenders from New England.”
Jamaican authorities issued a warrant for White’s arrest on Dec. 31, 2018, for the offense of shooting with intent.
The U.S. Border Patrol arrested White July 11, 2022, after he illegally entered the U.S. near San Ysidro, California, and served him the next day with a notice to appear before a Department of Justice immigration judge and released him on an order of recognizance.
An immigration judge with the DOJ’s Executive Office for Immigration Review in Atlanta, Georgia ordered White removed from the United States to Jamaica on April 12, 2023.
The New Haven Police Department arrested White on Dec. 26, 2023, for threatening first degree with hazard to terrorize, and ICE lodged an immigration detainer against White Dec. 27, 2023, with New Haven Correctional Center.
The State of Connecticut Superior Court in New Haven convicted White April 17, 2024, of threatening first degree with hazard to terrorize, a class-D felony offense, and sentenced him to five years’ incarceration - suspended after 1 year, and 3 years’ probation.
The State of Connecticut Department of Corrections honored the ICE detainer Dec. 26, 2024.
Officers from ICE arrested White in a custodial setting at Hartford Correctional Center upon completion of his state sentence.
