Yudierquis Reyes-Merino/Cuba/Domestic Violence

by G. George | August 10, 2026

ICE agents apprehended Yudierquis Reyes-Merino in Grand Island, Nebraska. The Cuba illegal alien faces charges of domestic violence.

The charges filed against Reyes-Merino carry criminal penalties under state law and separately provide grounds for federal immigration enforcement. Local prosecutors will handle the criminal case through the state court system while federal immigration authorities pursue removal in a concurrent proceeding, both matters moving simultaneously on independent timelines.

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