Abner Neftali Avalos Arrona, a Mexican citizen, was arrested by ICE on June 22, 2026 in Weber County, Utah while on his way to work. Avalos had previously been removed from the United States in 2013 pursuant to a final removal order, but subsequently reentered illegally. He was detained in the Weber County and Tooele County detention centers. On June 23, 2026, Avalos filed a habeas corpus petition seeking his release, but on July 2, 2026, the court denied his petition, finding his detention lawful under 8 U.S.C. § 1231, which mandates detention for previously removed noncitizens who reenter.
