Mishelle Ortiz-Ubillus/Peru/Organized Crime

ICE New Orleans deported Mishelle Ortiz-Ubillus, a citizen of Peru and an illegal alien previously residing in the United States, following targeted enforcement actions focused on removing individuals involved in significant criminal activities. Ortiz-Ubillus, thirty-eight, was apprehended by ICE officers after investigations revealed her status as a fugitive wanted by Peruvian authorities for her alleged involvement in organized crime.

Peruvian law enforcement has identified Ortiz-Ubillus as connected to organized criminal networks engaged in various illicit enterprises, including financial fraud, extortion, and drug trafficking. Court documents and international law enforcement reports indicate that Ortiz-Ubillus allegedly played a role in coordinating activities that facilitated the movement of illicit funds and goods across borders. Organized crime groups in Peru are notorious for their violence and corruption, posing serious threats not only to their home country but also to transnational security.

Ortiz-Ubillus’s presence in the United States represented a significant public safety concern, given her alleged links to criminal enterprises capable of undermining local communities and national security. ICE officers prioritized her case due to the nature of the charges against her and her status as a wanted fugitive.

At the time of her removal, Ortiz-Ubillus held no lawful immigration status allowing her to remain in the United States and had exhausted available legal avenues to contest her deportation. ICE officers carried out her removal without incident, successfully returning her to Peru, where she faces legal proceedings for her alleged involvement in organized crime activities. Ortiz-Ubillus is now barred from any future lawful reentry into the United States due to her criminal history and immigration violations.
