Five Chilean nationals in the U.S. illegally, allegedly burglarized multiple homes in Maryland as well as in Florida, North Carolina, Alabama and Oklahoma, according to ICE.
Five Chilean nationals accused of burglarizing a Baltimore County, Maryland residence last month and being linked to crimes in other states, were all in the country illegally, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement .
told Fox News Digital that Enforcement and Removal Operations in Baltimore had lodged immigration detainers against all five individuals. 'ERO Baltimore is closely tracking the five individuals that Baltimore County Police arrested Feb. 3 for burglary charges,' ERO Baltimore Spokesperson James Covington said. 'All five of the individuals are Chilean nationals.
The fifth individual, Matamala-Ponce, entered the U.S. illegally without admission by a U.S. immigration official, ICE said. All five are also connected to crimes in other states. The Orange County, North Carolina sheriff’s office issued arrest warrants for Crisosto-Araya, Gatica-Vergara, Oyanedel-Valenzuela and Matamala-Ponce on Feb. 28, 2024 for burglary-forced entry of a residence.
Miranda-Gonzalez was arrested by the Orange County, Florida sheriff’s office on Feb. 22, 2022 and charged with petty retail theft and paid a fine for the crime on April 22, 2022. All five are being held in Baltimore County on an immigration detainer. The detainers are lodged against non-citizens who have been arrested for criminal activity. Under the detainer, ICE asks local and state law enforcement agencies to notify them as early as possible before releasing a non-citizen from custody.
The detainers place a hold on the release of the non-citizens for no more than 48 hours beyond the time they would otherwise be released, which allows ERO to assume custody for removal purposes.
