“Needless to say, this is not someone coming to the United States for a better life; they are coming here to evade justice,” said Robert Lynch, the Detroit field office director for ICE’s Enforcement Removal Operations.
An arrest warrant was issued for Navarro on Feb. 18, 1994, by a judge in Coahuila, Mexico. Authorities did not know when he illegally entered the United States.
