Cesar Ramos-Lopez/Guatemala/Domestic Violence

ICE agents apprehended Cesar Ramos-Lopez in Wilber, Nebraska. The Guatemala illegal alien faces charges of domestic violence, false imprisonment.

The charges filed against Ramos-Lopez carry criminal penalties under state law and separately provide grounds for federal immigration enforcement. Local prosecutors will handle the criminal case through the state court system while federal immigration authorities pursue removal in a concurrent proceeding, both matters moving simultaneously on independent timelines.

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