Jhocer Colina Moncerrat/Venezuela/Larceny

Federal immigration agents arrested Jhocer Colina Moncerrat, a Venezuela national here illegally, in Superior, Wisconsin, on charges of larceny.

Arson and property destruction charges carry serious criminal penalties under Wisconsin law and, for illegal aliens, simultaneously trigger federal immigration enforcement. Moncerrat’s arrest has initiated both a state criminal prosecution and a federal removal proceeding that will move forward on an independent timeline, with outcomes determined separately.

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