The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE Los Angeles, has arrested a Nigerian national identified as Etinosa Osahon over allegations linked to identity theft, bank fraud, and possession of stolen mail.
According to a statement shared by ICE on its official X account, the 49-year-old Nigerian was arrested on May 21 in Los Angeles, California. The agency said Osahon is currently being held in ICE custody pending removal proceedings from the United States.
ICE alleged that Osahon has a criminal record involving stealing, possession of stolen mail, bank fraud, and aggravated identity theft. Authorities, however, did not immediately disclose details about the specific incidents, court filings, or the amount allegedly involved in the fraud-related offences.
The arrest comes amid intensified immigration enforcement operations by US authorities targeting non-citizens accused of criminal offences. Reports indicate that the Donald Trump administration has continued to strengthen deportation and enforcement actions against immigrants with criminal records.
ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations unit is expected to handle Osahon’s deportation process while legal proceedings continue in the United States.
