Carlos Contreras Ramos/Mexico/Fraud

ICE agents apprehended Carlos Contreras Ramos in Omaha, Nebraska. The Mexico illegal alien faces charges of fraud.

Fraud and financial crimes involving illegal aliens attract enforcement attention from multiple agencies. Beyond the state or federal criminal prosecution, such charges carry additional weight in immigration removal proceedings. Ramos now faces both a criminal case and a separate federal immigration removal proceeding moving forward on an independent timeline.

Ramos has been placed in federal immigration detention and is scheduled to appear before a Department of Justice immigration judge. If ordered removed, Ramos would be deported to Mexico.
