An illegal immigrant from Colombia who is wanted in Spain for drug trafficking charges has been arrested in Massachusetts, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Later that day, Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) in Boston, the deportation arm of ICE, lodged an immigration detainer against him with Massachusetts State Police. A detainer requests local law enforcement to keep a suspected illegal migrant in custody until the person can be transferred to ICE and put into deportation proceedings.
