Marco Muniz-Alba/Mexico/Aggravated Assault, Weapon Offense

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Marco Muniz-Alba in Sturtevant, Wisconsin. The Mexico national — in the country illegally — faces charges of aggravated assault, weapon offense.

Robbery and aggravated assault charges involving illegal aliens typically trigger dual enforcement — a state criminal prosecution alongside a federal immigration removal proceeding that moves on an independent timeline. Immigration authorities file immediate detainers to prevent release, ensuring Muniz-Alba cannot be released without federal clearance pending both the criminal case and a separate hearing before an immigration judge.

Muniz-Alba is currently in federal immigration custody awaiting a hearing before a Department of Justice immigration judge, which will determine whether removal to Mexico is ordered.
