ICE arrests 400th foreign fugitive in fiscal year 2017
Last month, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) conducted its 400th foreign fugitive arrest of the fiscal year. Since October 1, 2009, ERO has arrested and removed more than 1,700 foreign fugitives who were sought in their native countries for crimes such as homicide, rape, and kidnapping.
“ICE works hard every day to protect the American public,” said ERO Executive Associate Director Matthew Albence. “Our mission to remove dangerous fugitive criminals from the United States will never cease.”
ERO’s 400th foreign fugitive arrest of the year was Rafael Alberto-Burgos, a 43-year-old national of the Dominican Republic and citizen of Spain, wanted by Spanish authorities for homicide. Alberto-Burgos is suspected to have participated in the 1997 murder of his ex-girlfriend, whose remains were found on a Barcelona highway.
