Illegal Immigrant Shocked at Deportation Arrest After Failing to Appear in Court

An illegal immigrant from Mexico appeared to be surprised that immigrants officials arrested him after he failed to appear for hearings for three years.

The Mexican man had been given a second chance by an immigration judge in 2013 who stopped a deportation order.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers arrested Luis Plaza Moreno, 44, at an immigration office in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, earlier this week. Moreno went to the office to renew a work permit, The Oklahoman reported.

Plaza illegally entered the U.S. near Nogales, Arizona in 2002, ICE officials told the local newspaper. Nine years later, he came in contact with police during a traffic stop. Despite not getting a ticket, Plaza’s attorney, Giovanni I. Perry, said immigration officers moved against him an obtained a deportation order. She successfully blocked the deportation order and the immigration judge enrolled the illegal immigrant in an Alternatives to Detention program.
