An illegal immigrant from Colombia, wanted in Spain for drug trafficking charges, has been apprehended in Massachusetts by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The 25-year-old fugitive was arrested in the city of Revere by Massachusetts State Police on June 29 for driving an unregistered vehicle without a license.
Following the arrest, Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) in Boston lodged an immigration detainer against the individual, requesting local law enforcement to keep him in custody until transfer to ICE for deportation proceedings. Spanish authorities had issued an arrest warrant for the Colombian national for drug trafficking, although the specific charges remain undisclosed.
