Samy Javier Amendarez Mejia/Honduras/Burglary, Stolen Vehicle

Samy Javier Amendarez Mejia, a criminal illegal alien from Honduras, was apprehended on December 14 following charges related to property crimes and unauthorized entry into the United States. Federal authorities report that Mejia was arrested for burglary and stolen vehicle charges on January 7, 2024, after initially entering the country illegally on October 15, 2023.

The timeline reveals that Mejia remained at large for approximately three months following his illegal border crossing before facing criminal charges. Court records document the burglary and vehicle theft allegations, though specific details regarding the properties involved or sentencing outcomes have not been publicly disclosed. Immigration officials coordinated with local law enforcement to verify Mejia’s unlawful status and criminal history before taking him into custody.

“He was located and processed for immigration proceedings,” an ICE spokesman said. Mejia currently remains in federal detention pending deportation review and resolution of his outstanding criminal charges related to the burglary and stolen vehicle incidents.
