NOGALES, Ariz. — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has deported Jose Ramon Torres Cordova, a 47-year-old Mexican fugitive wanted in Hermosillo, Mexico, for kidnapping and criminal association, officials announced.
Torres was removed from the Eloy Detention Center on March 7 and transferred to Mexican authorities at the Dennis DeConcini Port of Entry in Nogales.
“The return of this fugitive to Mexico is a prime example of how ICE works closely with our international law enforcement partners to identify, locate and remove criminal aliens who are wanted in their country,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Phoenix Field Office Director John Cantu.
Torres had illegally entered the U.S. multiple times, first being removed in April 2019 and again in May 2019 after being caught reentering. He had also been arrested in the U.S. for disorderly conduct and assault.
