Nestor Alberto Castillo/Belize/Carrying Concealed Weapon, Larceny

ICE agents apprehended Nestor Alberto Castillo in Sturtevant, Wisconsin. The Belize illegal alien faces charges of carrying concealed weapon, larceny.

Weapons charges involving illegal aliens are treated as priority enforcement matters under both state and federal law. Federal statute independently prohibits illegal aliens from possessing firearms, meaning Castillo faces potential exposure on multiple criminal fronts alongside a concurrent federal immigration removal proceeding moving forward independently.

Castillo has been placed in federal immigration detention and is scheduled to appear before a Department of Justice immigration judge. If ordered removed, Castillo would be deported to Belize.
