You know, I get it: some of our good friends on the left really, really think that the people who came to the United States seeking a better life are, at heart, good people, who should be allowed to stay in the United States and contribute to our culture, society, and economy. But even if that is the way you feel, does it make sense to try to shield this man from Immigration and Customs Enforcement?
The Enforcement and Removal Operations Philadelphia office tweeted:
On Feb. 11, @EROPhiladelphia arrested Ibrahim George Kallon, an illegal alien from Sierra Leone in C/O (Corrections Officer — DRP) training at DelCo (Delaware County, Pennsylvania — DRP) Prison. In 2025, Kallon was charged w/ rape, IDSI, sexual assault and false imprisonment. @DelCoPa released him without alerting ICE! Now in our custody!
One of my Philadelphia friends, who goes by the nom de guerre Stinky Feat, responded to ERO Philadelphia’s tweet with this information:
🚨 I’m told that this illegal alien and accused rapist so graciously had their bail decreased to ONE DOLLAR immediately after ICE agents attempted to take him into federal custody and were denied 🚨 This is what @delcotimes should be reporting on if true
According to court documents, the image of which my good friend provided, Mr Kallon was arrested on June 21, 2025, with bail set at $250,000, a hardly excessive amount for someone charged with Forcible Rape, Title 18 §3121(a)(1), a first-degree felony in the Keystone State, which carries a sentence of greater than ten and up to twenty years in prison.
Mr Kallon was unable to make that bail, and, as an early Christmas present, on December 4, 2025, his bail was reduced to $100,000, with a required 10% to be posted to get him out of the hoosegow. He apparently could not make that, either, but then, on February 5th, his bail was reduced to $1.00, one stinking dollar, and he was released, released without notifying ICE that an illegal immigrant charged with false imprisonment and forcible rape was set free.
Fortunately, ERO was able to apprehend this alleged rapist.
Site searches of both the Delaware County Daily Times and The Philadelphia Inquirer returned nothing on the case. A google search returned nothing more than has been documented here. It seems that none of the credentialed media chose to report on this.
But really, who in their right mind, even someone who doesn’t support President Trump’s immigration policies, would set someone like Mr Kallon loose like that? This isn’t a case of a hard-working construction worker who got busted because he had a headlight burned out and no driver’s license, but a man accused of forcible rape!
I could understand a policy which attempted to shield the decent people, but policies to not report an illegal immigrant who is a real criminal to ICE? How does that make sense, other than the left hating President Trump more than they care about American citizens.
