Franklin Gualtiere Delgado/Venezuela/Fraud

ICE agents apprehended Franklin Gualtiere Delgado in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Venezuela illegal alien faces charges of fraud.

Fraud and financial crimes involving illegal aliens attract enforcement attention from multiple agencies. Beyond the state or federal criminal prosecution, such charges carry additional weight in immigration removal proceedings. Delgado now faces both a criminal case and a separate federal immigration removal proceeding moving forward on an independent timeline.

Delgado has been placed in federal immigration detention and is scheduled to appear before a Department of Justice immigration judge. If ordered removed, Delgado would be deported to Venezuela.
