“This removal sends a clear message that if you’re wanted for crimes abroad you won’t be able to hide out in our communities,” said acting Denver Field Office Director Arthur J. Wilson, Jr. “I applaud our officers and partners both nationally and internationally that support our efforts in making sure these types of enforcement actions happen smoothly and without incident.”
Camargo’s removal was coordinated by Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Denver with assistance from ERO San Diego. The operation highlights the ongoing efforts of US immigration authorities to locate and deport individuals who pose a threat to public safety or have violated US immigration laws.
