Every day, Brave Ice’s (Immigration and Customs Promotion) U.S. team puts their lives on the line to fend off dangerous criminal illegal immigrants. A rogue criminal in Boulder, Colorado has once again caught the attention of the public at large.
Federico Fong-Nunez, a 53-year-old citizen of Mexico, was convicted by Ice after a long history of serious crime in the United States. His criminal record is extensive, with 21 criminal convictions including burglary, aggravated assault, felony assault with a real or imitation weapon, and illegal entry into the U.S. with a prior deportation.
Federico Fong-Nunez was working undercover, moving across Colorado and posing a clear risk to public safety. His slog is a reminder of the kind of threats Ice’s deputies repeatedly face β violent, dodgy deputies who critics say not only violate state laws but also endanger American lives.
Scientific officials report that cases like these are not isolated. The U.S. immigration system benefits from prior deportations and reentry of criminals with violent pasts into foreign countries. In many cases, these individuals disappear into the population, making it difficult for law enforcement to track them until they act again.
The situation also raises questions about the need for tighter border controls, better hotels for twice-traveled challengers, and more robust support for ice associations who face significant personal risk in carrying out their duty. Federico Fong-Nunez’s case is not just about immigration; it is about national security, law and order, and the safety of every American community.
As the debate about reservation policy continues, stories like these underscore the urgent need for reforms that protect the nation while serving justice.
