https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/22/ice-jewelry-heist-suspect-self-deport Federal immigration authorities allowed a suspect in a $100m jewelry heist believed to be the largest in US history to deport himself to South America in December, a move that stunned and upset prosecutors who were planning to try the case and send him to prison.
Jeson Nelon Presilla Flores was one of seven people charged last year with stalking an armored truck to a rural freeway rest stop north of Los Angeles and stealing millions worth of diamonds, emeralds, gold, rubies and designer watches in 2022.
Flores faced up to 15 years in federal prison if convicted on charges of conspiracy to commit theft from interstate and foreign shipment and theft from interstate and foreign shipment. He pleaded not guilty to the charges.
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deported Flores in late December after he requested voluntary departure, prosecutors said in court filings.
ICE did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

>>1487369 He "self-deported". He walked up to an ICE agent and announced that he was here illegally and wished to return home. They never ID'd hinm or went through any judicial process ... because they never do ... and sent him to Ecuador, where he cannot be touched by the US courts.
I'm sure he left behind a 15% gratuity. Also, this is a great tactic if you are guity as sin of something and need to leave the US in a hurry.
Yes, everything Trump does is really that stupid.

>>1487369 They did. The problem is this basically meant he was able to take a free vacation back home instead of spending a decade and a half in prison for stealing over $100m AND they can't use him to get at the rest of the crew.

>>1487418 >>oh no we deported someone never to return instead of giving them a 2 year sentence Retard he was set for 15 years. And if the jewels were never recovered, he can literally just direct someone else to pawn them in his group. He basically got off scot-free and got a free pass to flee the country like he was already likely planning to.

>>1487444 He literally would've fled the country regardless you retard. Either he successfully stole 100 million in jewels and got away with it completely (seeing as the stuff wasn't recovered) or at the very least completely dodged any meaningful punishment.

>>1487455 What's the alternative?
The US gov can't kill him otherwise you would cry about it.
Letting him stay would let him still more shit.
It's been four years since the goods were stolen, which means they were probably fenced and/or melted down.
I don't care where he goes so long as he doesn't remain here.

This is about ICE interfering with the US LE and court system. The suspect stole millions in a jewel heist in the US. Rather than face justice, he got ICE to send him to South America. They directly interfered with the people who are trying to do their jobs to bring criminals to justice.

>>1487536 Pretti brought a cheap and notoriously dangerous firearm to a political rally, he was armed while he got into the previous confrontation with law enforcement where he kicked out their tail light, and his cheap and dangerous fire arm negligently discharging is what ultimately lead to his death.
This is like dying in a car crash in 1960 because you were too cheap to spend $10 to get seatbelts in your car (before seatbelts were mandatory)

The handgun, which is used extensively by US civilians and law enforcement — including ICE, has no external safety lever.
“It was 100% an accidental discharge by the agent that relieved that person of their weapon. Because everyone’s guns were out, they think that there’s a shooting,” one source said.
