Nimia Aurora Gamez Saucedo/Mexico/Drug Trafficking

ICE New Orleans arrested Nimia Aurora Gamez Saucedo, a citizen of Mexico. Court and law enforcement records show two aggravated felony convictions for drug trafficking and a separate federal conviction for illegal reentry after removal. She was taken into custody in the New Orleans area and processed for immigration detention while her case advances before an immigration judge.

Drug trafficking convictions document participation in distributing controlled substances rather than personal possession. Investigations that lead to these judgments commonly include surveillance of meetings and handoffs, intercepted communications arranging deliveries, seized quantities consistent with resale, packaging materials, scales, pay owe records, and laboratory confirmations identifying the substance. Two trafficking convictions indicate repeated involvement despite prior criminal penalties, a pattern that is reflected in certified judgments and sentencing orders now included in the immigration file.

Illegal reentry establishes that, following a prior removal from the United States, the individual returned without authorization. Evidence typically consists of the earlier removal order, fingerprint and biometric matches linking encounters across time, admission and border records, and sworn statements documenting the absence of lawful permission to reenter. A federal conviction for this offense carries distinct immigration consequences that are considered during custody and removability determinations.

During intake, officers verified identity through biometrics, compiled certified copies of all judgments and sentencing records, and reviewed immigration history for presentation in court. Gamez Saucedo remains detained while removal proceedings are scheduled. If a final order of removal is issued, officials will coordinate necessary travel documentation with the receiving government and arrange transportation in accordance with established procedures.
