Carlos Adrian Verdugo Castro/Ecuador/Illegal Reentry

Federal immigration authorities arrested criminal illegal alien Carlos Adrian Verdugo Castro in Minneapolis, Minnesota, based on his prior conviction for illegal reentry after removal. Verdugo Castro, an Ecuadorian national, was previously prosecuted under federal immigration statutes that classify certain unlawful reentries as aggravated felonies when connected to prior deportation orders.

Court records show Verdugo Castro had been formally removed from the United States before illegally reentering the country in violation of federal law. After being located in Minneapolis, local officers coordinated with federal immigration agents to execute the arrest. Authorities verified his illegal reentry conviction and immigration history before transferring him to federal custody.

Verdugo Castro remains detained while officials evaluate his immigration case and pursue formal removal proceedings.
