Benjamin Tamayo Cervantes/Mexico/Robbery

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Benjamin Tamayo Cervantes, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, in Welch, West Virginia, on charges of unlawful reentry and robbery.

Tamayo Cervantes faces two serious criminal charges. Robbery involves taking property from another person through force or intimidation — a serious felony. He had also previously been removed and reentered without authorization — a federal felony. Together, these charges reflect a dangerous and persistent pattern of violent and immigration criminal conduct.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers apprehended Tamayo Cervantes in Welch, West Virginia. He currently remains in federal immigration custody and faces removal proceedings before a Department of Justice immigration judge, with potential deportation back to Mexico.
