Abdi Jibril/Somalia/Robbery

Abdi Jibril, a 25-year-old citizen of Somalia, was arrested by ICE Denver officers on May 20 due to his criminal history and unlawful presence in the United States. Jibril has accumulated multiple convictions in Colorado, including robbery, menacing, assault, and criminal impersonation. These convictions stem from various incidents that involved threats or harm to others, which ultimately led to local authorities coordinating with federal enforcement for further action.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers encountered Jibril following his most recent criminal proceedings. Upon confirmation of his immigration status, officers placed him under administrative arrest and transferred him to a secure federal detention facility. Jibril has no legal authorization to remain in the U.S., and his criminal record further prompted ICE to initiate formal removal proceedings.

The charges against Jibril illustrate a history of violent and deceptive behavior, which ICE considered in determining the necessity for continued custody. His transfer to immigration authorities ensures that he will face legal proceedings to evaluate the totality of his immigration and criminal history. He is currently detained pending a hearing before an immigration judge, where the outcome will determine whether he will be removed from the United States.
