An activist organization dedicated to helping illegal immigrants evade Immigration and Customs Enforcement allegedly warned an illegal immigrant convicted of raping a child of the federal agency’s presence in the area, which allowed him to elude its agents.

Jose Reyes Leon-Deras was apparently on ICE’s radar when the Colorado Rapid Response Network, or CORRN, alerted him of the agency’s presence, according to a press release issued by the Department of Homeland Security. The DHS said, due to the group’s alleged intervention, the convicted child rapist, who was in the country illegally, was able to escape.
