Thongphanh Sonthana

Thongphanh Sonthana/Laos/Burglary

by G. George | July 07, 2026

ICE agents apprehended Thongphanh Sonthana in Plattsmouth, Nebraska. The Laos illegal alien faces charges of burglary.

The charges carry serious criminal penalties under state law and, for illegal aliens, simultaneously trigger federal immigration enforcement. Sonthana’s arrest has initiated both a state criminal prosecution and a federal removal proceeding that will move forward on an independent timeline, with outcomes determined separately.

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