U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Detains Belizean

A Belizean man finds himself on the wrong side of the law in the U.S. After serving about half of his thirty-year sentence in prison for a home invasion in Lake County, Illinois, forty-five-year-old Alejandro Requena Junior was released earlier this year. 

However, that was not the end of his troubles in the U.S. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) still had its eyes on him.

After his release, ICE issued a detainer, requesting his transfer into federal custody for deportation. ICE located Requena at his workplace in Villa Park, a Chicago suburb, after two weeks of surveillance.

ICE intercepted Requena, who was also in the company of his wife, as he drove off in the vehicle. He was taken into custody for immigration proceedings.
