Mayra Guadalupe Campos-Garcia/Mexico/Illegal Presence

On March 20, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrested Mayra Guadalupe Campos-Garcia, a 45-year-old Mexican national unlawfully present in the United States. The arrest occurred following coordination with local authorities and ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations. Campos-Garcia had been living in the U.S. without lawful status and was taken into custody in Texas during routine enforcement actions. While specific charges or convictions were not detailed in the public release, ICE confirmed that Campos-Garcia had no legal right to remain in the United States and was therefore placed into immigration custody pending removal proceedings.

Campos-Garcia was booked into an ICE detention facility where she will remain until an immigration judge determines the outcome of her case. ICE officers issued her a Notice to Appear before the Executive Office for Immigration Review. The timeline of her unlawful entry into the U.S. was not made public, nor were details provided regarding any prior immigration encounters or prior removals. Her case is currently under review by the immigration court system, where she will be afforded due process consistent with federal law.

ICE emphasized that she will remain detained while her immigration status is adjudicated and that further details may be released upon the conclusion of court proceedings or removal. Campos-Garcia is one of several recent arrests of unlawfully present foreign nationals in the region this year.
