Indra Gurung/Bhutan/Intimidation

Bhutanese national Indra Gurung was arrested in Caledonia, Michigan, during the execution of a criminal search warrant, according to federal social media posts and subsequent online reports. Officials described Gurung as a criminal illegal alien with a prior record that includes stalking, aggravated stalking, domestic violence, operating while intoxicated, and a conviction for witness or victim intimidation in another state. Those earlier intimidation and violence-related convictions, combined with his immigration violations, prompted federal authorities to target him for arrest in coordination with other investigative agencies in the Detroit area.

After his arrest in Caledonia, Gurung was taken into federal custody, where immigration officers can pursue removal proceedings based on his prior convictions and unlawful presence in the United States. His intimidation conviction and documented pattern of stalking and domestic violence are likely to weigh heavily in any decision on detention and removal, as they are considered serious public-safety factors under immigration law enforcement priorities.
