Federal immigration authorities arrested three Guatemalan illegal aliens in Tennessee during an investigation into the alleged fraudulent use of stolen identities and Social Security numbers.
ICE officers arrested Magdalena Gomez-Garcia, Elias Gomez-Garcia, and Eulalia Ordonez-Carmelo on August 4.
All three Guatemalan nationals were reportedly already subject to final orders of removal from the United States, Border Hawk first reported.
Magdalena Gomez-Garcia is accused of stealing the identity of a New York resident and using the victim’s Social Security number to obtain employment in Tennessee.
According to Border Hawk, the American victim discovered that wages earned by someone else were being reported under her Social Security number. She was then forced to contact authorities repeatedly to correct her records.
Gomez-Garcia was first encountered by Border Patrol near San Luis, Arizona, in 2018. She was issued a notice to appear before an immigration judge and received a final removal order in absentia in April 2019.
Yet she allegedly remained in the country and found employment using another person’s identity.
