Walken Medina/Dominican Republic/Obstruction of Criminal Investigation, Possession of Fraudulent Immigration Documents

Walken Medina, a criminal illegal alien from the Dominican Republic, was arrested in Sandstone, Minnesota, on convictions for obstruction of a criminal investigation and possession of fraudulent immigration documents during a federal enforcement operation. Authorities located him and took him into custody, transporting him to a detention facility pending removal proceedings related to his criminal history and unlawful presence.

Court records and federal documentation confirm Medina’s convictions for obstruction of a criminal investigation, reflecting deliberate interference with law enforcement investigative activities, and possession of fraudulent immigration documents, reflecting the unlawful possession of forged or falsified immigration papers.

Officials stated that his case was identified through a systematic review of noncitizens with outstanding criminal convictions and immigration violations in the Sandstone area. Authorities noted that convictions involving both obstruction of justice and immigration document fraud demonstrate serious criminal conduct that undermines law enforcement operations and immigration system integrity.
