by G. George | August 08, 2025

Emmanuel Winzua Haruna, a 40-year-old citizen of Ghana, was arrested by ICE Harlingen in Laredo, Texas. Winzua has a criminal history that includes a conviction for Smuggling Aliens, a serious offense involving the illegal transportation and facilitation of foreign nationals into the United States. Smuggling operations often involve significant risks and violations of immigration laws, as well as potential harm to individuals being trafficked.

Winzua’s conviction highlights his involvement in the unlawful movement of people across borders, a crime that undermines immigration regulations and puts both the smuggled individuals and society at risk. Smuggling aliens is a federal offense, and Winzua’s actions led to his arrest and subsequent legal consequences.

After his arrest, Winzua was placed in ICE custody and is now subject to deportation proceedings. Those found to be in violation of the conditions of their admission to the U.S., including those with criminal convictions, are subject to removal from the country. Winzua will be deported to Ghana, where he may face further legal actions related to his criminal history.
