Almost certainly

I was about to say the article refers to immigration and foreign office, which would be unusual had the crime happened here.

The Immigration Department, in collaboration with the Foreign Office, has arrested Susan Samuel Douglas Lovejoy, a 31-year-old American, who holds a passport number 548552504 for sexual abuse of children (According to a letter from the Security Attaché) at the fence at Mey Mey village, Meas commune, Kampong Kandal district, Kampot province.

The suspects have now been sent to the General Department of Immigration.
The security attache would be US law enforcement I'd guess.

He has been sent to the Department of Immigration, so perhaps he is being deported to the USA to face the charges.

So how does the deportation process work? I mean, are you handcuffed before departure and all during the flight with 2 law enforcement agents on each side of you? Do you have to pay for your own ticket and do you fly economy? Must be embarrassing as hell no matter how you put it.

Police arrest American national

Khuon Narim / Khmer Times

Authorities on Tuesday arrested an American wanted by the FBI in Kampot province.

Mao Chanmathurith, Kampot, the province’s police chief, said his officers cooperated with the General Immigration Police Department to arrest Samuel Douglas Lovejoy, 31.

“We arrested him following an FBI arrest warrant in cooperation with the US embassy,” Mr Chanmathurith said.

He said Mr Lovejoy was wanted on charges of abusing children in the United States and had not been involved in any sexual abuse in Cambodia.

He added that Mr Lovejoy was being sent to the General Immigration Police Department.

The US embassy did not reply to a request for comments yesterday.
