Valentin Ionita Margel/Romania/Felony Credit Card Fraud, Identity Theft

Valentin Ionita Margel, age 34, a citizen of Romania, was arrested by ICE San Antonio and transferred to federal custody for immigration processing. The case listing identifies prior felony conduct adjudicated in U.S. court and notes that he will remain detained while removal proceedings move forward.

Records show a conviction for felony credit card fraud and a separate conviction for identity theft. The fraud offense involved unauthorized use of payment cards and associated account information, while the identity theft count reflects the use of personal identifiers without consent. Case materials also note a conviction for illegal reentry entered in federal court after a prior removal. These entries are cataloged as final judgments and constitute the principal offenses associated with his file.

Following intake, officials will set hearing dates and address custody status on the immigration docket. Any matters connected to the earlier criminal cases proceed in the jurisdictions where they were adjudicated, separate from immigration proceedings. No additional convictions were listed in the arrest notice.
