U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Antonio Salazar-Cruz, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, in Cheyenne, Wyoming, on charges of fraud.

Fraud involves deliberate deception carried out for financial or personal gain and is a criminal offense under Wyoming law. Depending on the method and amount involved, fraud can be charged as a misdemeanor or felony, with felony fraud carrying significant prison time. Criminal illegal aliens convicted of fraud offenses are subject to both state criminal penalties and federal removal proceedings.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officers apprehended Salazar-Cruz in Cheyenne. He currently remains in federal immigration custody and faces removal proceedings before a Department of Justice immigration judge, with potential deportation back to Mexico.
