DETROIT — A professor at Ferris State University was arrested in Detroit on Tuesday by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, the agency said.
Sumith Gunasekera was living in the U.S. illegally, according to ICE. He also was convicted of sex crimes in Canada and Nevada, per a release by the agency.
In 1998, Gunasekera was arrested twice over a three day period: first for allegedly uttering death threats on August 28, 1998; then again on August 31 for allegedly inviting a minor to sexual touching. He was convicted of both charges that November and spent 1 month behind bars, according to ICE.
Then in 2003, police in Las Vegas arrested Gunasekera for gross lewdness. A judge convicted him on a count of disorderly conduct.
According to federal investigators, Gunasekera first entered the U.S. in February 1998, left for Canada, then returned later that year on a student visa. In 2012, he was flagged by ICE for the 1998 convictions in Canada when Gunasekera applied for a change in status in the U.S. Those criminal convictions would make him ineligible for legal status in the U.S.
Gunasekera allegedly manipulated the immigration system in the years since to avoid deportation through new applications and appeals, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
“It's sickening that a sex offender was working as a professor on an American college campus and was given access to vulnerable students to potentially victimize them,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “Thanks to the brave ICE law enforcement officers, this sicko is behind bars and no longer able to prey on Americans. His days of exploiting the immigration system are OVER. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, criminals are not welcome in the U.S.”

Bump.
I Dindu Nuffin’!!!
There was a Flood!
Locusts!
Game Over, Pal!
The MI Fox island abuse is part of Michigan Culture now.
Sumith Gunasekera was living in the U.S. illegally,
XXXXXXXXXX
he is now “a Michigan Man”
he was “a Canadian Man”
the piece never identifies the country Gunasekera illegally immigrated in from to begin with?
You’re right, not in this article. Across oversight by the author and editor.
I believe he’s from Sri Lanka originally, from a different source.
Schools and churches seem to be where these perverts seek to blend in (hide).
The vetting process for every aspect of life must be more thorough.
Too many creeps are getting in under the radar.
Save Ferris
Professor of Data Science and Analytics.
My alma mater. Ferris was founded in the 1880s as a technical training institute for industry.Then the state took it over. A far cry of what it once was.
with his background it’s not hard to see how he was hired as professor.
Just another one of the Democrat’s hero list?
😂
Bueller?
They’ll give him tenure.
I doubt that their academic vetting is any better.
What radar? They're playing the system. Which needs massive changes.
That’s called resume enhancement.
😁🤣
