William De Oliveira Correa/Brazil/Murder

ICE New Orleans deported William De Oliveira Correa, a citizen of Brazil. According to law enforcement records provided at transfer, Correa is a foreign fugitive wanted by Brazilian authorities for the offense of murder. After completion of U.S. custody and immigration processing, officers executed a final order of removal and repatriated him to his country of citizenship.

Murder cases are prosecuted as the most serious violent offenses. Case files typically include witness statements, forensic analyses, scene documentation, and medical examiner reports establishing cause and manner of death. When a person is sought by foreign authorities, U.S. officers coordinate closely with the receiving government to ensure identity confirmation and lawful transfer on arrival. That coordination is handled separately from any extradition process and is grounded in immigration law once a final order has been issued.

In preparation for removal, ICE completed biometric identity verification, assembled certified court and custodian records, and confirmed travel authorization with the Government of Brazil. Transport arrangements were scheduled in accordance with security protocols, and Correa was escorted throughout the itinerary. Upon landing, custody transferred to Brazilian officials for any actions deemed appropriate under their law.

Administrative and criminal tracks remain distinct in these matters: the United States removal order addresses Correa’s immigration status and custody inside the country, while any investigative or prosecutorial steps related to the alleged murder proceed under Brazilian jurisdiction. With the handoff completed, the U.S. portion of the case is closed as to custody and transport, and the documentation establishing identity and transfer has been recorded in the immigration file for future reference.
