United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested a Nigerian man, Etinosa Osahon, over allegations linked to bank fraud, identity theft and other financial crimes in Los Angeles.
Gatekeepers News reports that according to ICE Los Angeles, the 49-year-old Nigerian was taken into custody on May 21 and is currently being held pending deportation proceedings.
The agency disclosed that Osahon’s alleged criminal record includes bank fraud, aggravated identity theft, stealing and possession of stolen mail.
In a statement shared on X, ICE said Osahon would remain in custody while immigration authorities process his removal from the United States. The agency did not immediately provide further details about the alleged offences or the period when the crimes were committed.
The arrest comes amid increased immigration enforcement operations across several US cities under the Donald Trump administration, with authorities intensifying crackdowns on undocumented immigrants and foreign nationals accused of criminal offences.
