Georgetown, Del. — Federal immigration agents arrested a fugitive inside Georgetown’s city limits on Tuesday, according to local police. The suspect, who was wanted on a criminal arrest warrant, was taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement without incident. The Georgetown Police Department confirmed they were notified of the operation but were not involved and did not assist. Authorities say ICE followed federal protocol by alerting local law enforcement after the arrest to avoid disrupting the neighborhood or putting officers at risk. Because the investigation is part of a broader federal case, police say they are unable to share further information at this time. However, Georgetown officials emphasized that public safety remains a top priority and encouraged residents to stay alert and report any suspicious activity. Community members with tips can contact Georgetown Police at 302-856-6613. For those seeking information about detainees, ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations can be reached at 1-888-351-4024.
