A criminal illegal immigrant sex offender who worked as a college professor in the U.S. is in custody thanks to the continued efforts of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to track down and remove criminal threats from America. ICE said in a statement that on Nov. 12 it arrested Sri Lankan national Sumith Gunasekera in Detroit, Michigan. Gunasekera reportedly worked as a professor of data science and analytics at Ferris State University, public school in Big Rapids, Michigan.

🚨 BREAKING: ICE agents arrested an illegal alien who was working as an associate professor at Ferris State University in Michigan, @DailyCaller reports.

Sumith Gunasekera, a Sri Lankan national, was also previously arrested for multiple sex crimes, ICE told The Daily Caller.

A scan of his online footprint reveals on social media site LinkedIn that he had been employed by the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) as a professor of data and analytics. While at UTC he earned the designation of “Google Scholar.” If you check out those sites and see photos of Gunasekera, you’ll notice that pictures he selected are typical for a nerdy college professor who spends all his time with numbers, data, and algorithms. 

According to ICE, Gunasekera has a criminal history that includes “sexual interference with a minor, gross lewdness, uttering death threats, invitation to sexual touching, and disorderly conduct.” He remains in ICE custody pending further immigration proceedings. 

Gunasekera’s rap sheet includes a conviction on Jan. 16, 2004, when the Las Vegas Justice Court convicted him of disorderly conduct and sentenced him to fines. On Sept. 25, 2003, the Metropolitan Police Department in Las Vegas arrested Gunasekera for open and gross lewdness.

I don’t understand how these people get hired. I have had so many background checks. How are these people not found in typical background checks that every American is subject to?

Probably by the age old tradition.
It’s not what you know, it’s who you know that gets you the job.

You need to have the correct complexion and connections to get protection.

Isn’t sex crimes the majority of so called college professors? Illegal alien is also expected in many instances.
