Gadet Kang/Sudan/Robbery, Vehicle Theft, Burglary

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Gadet Kang in Papillion, Nebraska. The Sudan national — in the country illegally — faces charges of robbery, vehicle theft, burglary.

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 Kang cannot be released without federal clearance pending both the criminal case and a separate hearing before an immigration judge.

Kang is currently in federal immigration custody awaiting a hearing before a Department of Justice immigration judge, which will determine whether removal to Sudan is ordered.
