Newark, NJ – A man wanted in Brazil for homicide and flagged with an Interpol Red Notice is now in federal custody after immigration agents tracked him down in New Jersey. Authorities identified the suspect as Ramos Marin, who was arrested in Newark and is currently being held without bond.
The arrest, carried out by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Newark, took place April 29, 2025, with assistance from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Newark and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in Newark. Officials say Marin was the subject of an active international alert tied to a homicide case in Brazil.
International Fugitive Located in New Jersey
An Interpol Red Notice, one of the highest-level international alerts, had been issued for Marin in connection with a homicide investigation in Brazil. Such notices signal that a person is wanted by a member country and request cooperation from global law enforcement agencies to locate and provisionally arrest the individual.
ICE officials confirmed that Marin was found and taken into custody in New Jersey through coordinated enforcement efforts involving multiple federal agencies. Authorities have not disclosed how long he had been in the United States prior to his arrest or the circumstances that led investigators to his location.
Multi-Agency Operation Leads to Arrest
The operation involved ICE ERO Newark, which handles immigration enforcement and removal operations, alongside HSI Newark, which investigates transnational crimes, and CBP officers based in Newark. The collaboration reflects the cross-border nature of the case, given the outstanding homicide charge in Brazil.

What Happens Next
Cases involving international fugitives often involve coordination between U.S. immigration authorities and the country seeking prosecution. While an Interpol Red Notice facilitates arrest, it does not itself mandate extradition; legal proceedings typically determine whether a suspect will be removed or transferred.
ICE has not stated whether Brazil has formally requested extradition or whether Marin will face immigration proceedings first. The timeline for either process remains unclear.
Limited Public Details
Officials have not released additional information about the homicide case in Brazil, including when or where it occurred, or whether Marin has legal representation in the United States. No court dates related to his custody status have been publicly announced.
Current Status
Ramos Marin remains in ICE custody without bond following his arrest in Newark. Authorities have not provided further updates on extradition proceedings or next steps in the case.
