Derry Tokoishy/Micronesia/Weapon Possession

Federal immigration agents arrested Derry Tokoishy, a Micronesia national here illegally, in Omaha, Nebraska, on charges of weapon possession.

Weapons charges involving illegal aliens are treated as priority enforcement matters under both state and federal law. Federal statute independently prohibits illegal aliens from possessing firearms, meaning Tokoishy faces potential exposure on multiple criminal fronts alongside a concurrent federal immigration removal proceeding moving forward independently.

Tokoishy remains in ICE custody pending a hearing before a federal immigration judge. If the court orders removal, Tokoishy would be returned to Micronesia.
