ICE arrested a 21-year-old Filipino national this week, here illegally, caught secretly filming people undressed. Local police built the case first. ICE stepped in because the guy had no business being here.

According to the Manila Standard, the suspect was in the country illegally when he was caught recording people without their knowledge or consent while they were in various states of undress. The exact location and circumstances of the filming haven't been detailed yet, but the charges are the kind that make your skin crawl.

How these cases usually work: local police catch someone doing something sick, run the person through the system, and at some point a name comes back with an immigration detainer attached. A detainer is a request from ICE telling the local jail to hold the person for up to 48 hours so ICE can come pick them up. If the jail honors it, ICE gets a shot at taking custody before the person is released back onto the street. If the jail ignores it, which happens in sanctuary jurisdictions all the time, the person walks and ICE has to go find them again.

In this case the system worked. Detainer honored, ICE took custody, and now the subject is sitting in a federal holding facility waiting for removal proceedings. Good.

What catches my attention is the age. Twenty-one years old. Barely old enough to buy a beer and already racking up voyeurism charges and earning himself a one-way ticket home. Illegal entry was the first crime. The secret filming was the second. Now he gets to deal with both at the same time, which is how it should work when someone here illegally decides to victimize people on top of it.

Peeping and secret recording cases are more common than people think. ICE's own arrest logs are full of them. Guys caught with hidden cameras in bathrooms, dressing rooms, rental properties. A particular brand of creep that deserves every bit of attention from law enforcement, and when the perpetrator is also here illegally, that's a clean two-for-one for the enforcement side.

The Philippines is a cooperative country on removals, so expect this one to move through the system relatively fast. No diplomatic foot-dragging, no drawn-out appeals process tying up immigration judges for months. The flight schedules out of that region run on a regular cycle.

One more off the board.
