Noe Rubio Farias/Mexico/Weapon Offense

Noe Rubio Farias, a Mexico national living in the country illegally, was taken into custody by ICE agents in Oxford, Wisconsin, on charges of weapon offense.

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 Farias faces potential exposure on multiple criminal fronts alongside a concurrent federal immigration removal proceeding moving forward independently.

Following the arrest, Farias was transferred to federal immigration detention. Removal proceedings before a Department of Justice immigration judge are pending, with Mexico as the country of removal.
