BOSTON
Officers with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Boston arrested a Guatemalan national, with convictions for kidnapping and murder, Feb. 17, on charges of illegal reentry after deportation, officials stated.
Ingrid Corzo-Armas, 49, who had previously been convicted and served a state prison sentence in California on kidnapping and murder charges, was charged with one count of illegal reentry, according to officials.
According to court documents, in 1993, Corzo-Armas was convicted in California of kidnapping and murder and sentenced to state prison.
After serving her sentence, she was placed into removal proceedings and deported to Guatemala June 15, 1999.
Sometime after her deportation, it is alleged that Corzo-Armas illegally reentered the United States and was most recently living in Lynn, Massachusetts under the alias Ingrid Sanchez.
On Feb. 17, 2020, ICE officers encountered Corzo-Armas in Lynn, and through the use of fingerprints established that she was illegally present in the United States.
During a subsequent interview with law enforcement, Corzo-Armas admitted her alienage, her prior removal, and that she had illegally reentered the United States.
If Corzo-Armas is convicted of the charges, she is facing up to 20 years in prison.
