Carlos Alberto Valbuena-Chirinos/Venezuela/Burglary

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested Carlos Alberto Valbuena-Chirinos, a Venezuelan national charged with burglary. The arrest follows criminal charges filed against Valbuena-Chirinos for allegedly breaking into a building with intent to commit a crime.

According to authorities, Valbuena-Chirinos is charged with burglary after allegedly entering a building without permission with criminal intent. Investigators documented unauthorized access to the location and evidence consistent with a planned break-in. ICE officials state the burglary charge resulted in immigration enforcement action.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations took Valbuena-Chirinos into custody following the filing of criminal charges. He is currently being held in federal immigration detention awaiting resolution of his criminal case and removal proceedings back to Venezuela. The agency states that foreign nationals charged with or convicted of property crimes face enforcement action.

“Our officers work with local law enforcement to identify and arrest individuals who pose threats to public safety and property,” an ICE spokesman stated. The agency continues to target foreign nationals with criminal charges for immigration enforcement.

Valbuena-Chirinos’s case reflects federal immigration enforcement cooperation with local police to apprehend individuals facing criminal charges. ICE coordinates with court systems to track foreign nationals involved in criminal proceedings.
