Jose Perez Carrisales/Mexico/Assault, Weapon Offense

Federal immigration agents arrested Jose Perez Carrisales, a Mexico national here illegally, in Omaha, Nebraska, on charges of assault, weapon offense.

Assault charges involving illegal aliens draw attention from both local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities, initiating two separate legal processes. State prosecutors handle the criminal charge while federal immigration authorities pursue removal on an independent timeline. Carrisales now faces criminal penalties under state law and, separately, a federal immigration matter determining whether deportation is ordered.

Carrisales remains in ICE custody pending a hearing before a federal immigration judge. If the court orders removal, Carrisales would be returned to Mexico.
