Victor Gamboa-Gamboa/Mexico/Felony Forged Instruments

Victor Gamboa-Gamboa, 43, a citizen of Mexico and an illegal alien in the United States, was arrested by ICE Denver officers as part of ongoing efforts to apprehend criminal aliens with significant records of immigration violations and criminal conduct. Gamboa-Gamboa’s case highlights a pattern of disregard for U.S. law, both in terms of his repeated unauthorized entries into the country and his involvement in criminal activities while here.

Gamboa-Gamboa’s criminal history includes a conviction for illegal reentry, which occurs when an individual unlawfully returns to the United States after having been formally deported or removed. Illegal reentry is a federal felony offense, carrying significant penalties under U.S. immigration law. His return to the United States despite a prior removal order demonstrates a persistent attempt to evade lawful immigration processes and reestablish himself in the country without authorization.

In addition to his immigration violations, Gamboa-Gamboa has a felony conviction for forging instruments. Crimes involving forged documents often relate to identity theft, financial fraud, or the production of counterfeit documents used to evade detection by authorities or gain unauthorized employment. Such offenses undermine the integrity of legal systems, facilitate other criminal enterprises, and pose significant risks to public safety and national security.

Following his arrest, ICE officers placed Gamboa-Gamboa into immigration detention, where he will remain pending further proceedings before an immigration judge. The outcome of those proceedings will determine the timing of his removal from the United States. His repeated violations of immigration laws and felony record make him a priority for enforcement action under ICE’s operational guidelines.
