GRAND FORKS, N.D. (<\/strong>trfnews.i234.me<\/strong><\/a>)<\/strong> \u2014 A man previously removed to Mexico faces a federal charge after his arrest in Grand Forks.<\/p>\n

Diego Armando Angeles-Lorenzo was arrested Sunday, November 8, 2026, according to a federal criminal complaint.<\/p>\n

The complaint was filed Monday, November 9, in U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota.<\/p>\n

Federal prosecutors accuse Angeles-Lorenzo of illegally reentering the United States after being removed without obtaining permission to return.<\/p>\n

Border Patrol Agents Locate Suspect<\/h3>\n

According to a federal agent’s affidavit, Border Patrol agents were patrolling Grand Forks when they spotted a vehicle registered to Angeles-Lorenzo.<\/p>\n

The vehicle was parked at an apartment complex.<\/p>\n

Investigators checked immigration records and discovered that Angeles-Lorenzo had previously been removed to Mexico.<\/p>\n

Agents reportedly watched the apartment complex and observed Angeles-Lorenzo leaving as a passenger in another vehicle.<\/p>\n

Authorities stopped that vehicle in Grand Forks and arrested him.<\/p>\n

Agents transported Angeles-Lorenzo to the Border Patrol station in Pembina, North Dakota, for processing.<\/p>\n

Previous Removal to Mexico<\/h3>\n

Federal court documents outline several previous immigration encounters involving Angeles-Lorenzo.<\/p>\n

According to the affidavit, agents arrested him in June 2025 and processed him at the Pembina Border Patrol station.<\/p>\n

He was ordered removed through expedited removal proceedings.<\/p>\n

Federal records indicate that he was removed to Mexico on July 9, 2025.<\/p>\n

The affidavit also describes an earlier encounter at the Laredo, Texas, port of entry in December 2023.<\/p>\n

During that encounter, Angeles-Lorenzo withdrew his application for admission and returned to Mexico.<\/p>\n

Investigators reported that a visa previously issued to him had also been revoked.<\/p>\n

Statements Made After Arrest<\/h3>\n

After his November arrest, agents advised Angeles-Lorenzo of his rights.<\/p>\n

According to the affidavit, he agreed to speak with investigators without an attorney present.<\/p>\n

He reportedly acknowledged being a Mexican citizen who had previously been ordered removed from the United States.<\/p>\n

He also told agents that his most recent entry into the country occurred without inspection.<\/p>\n

Investigators reported finding no evidence that federal authorities had granted him permission to reenter.<\/p>\n

Federal Charge and Custody<\/h3>\n

Angeles-Lorenzo faces a federal charge involving reentry after removal under 8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1326<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He is being held at the Northwest Regional Corrections Center in Crookston, Minnesota, according to the provided complaint information.<\/p>\n

The charge remains an allegation. Angeles-Lorenzo is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n

More information about the federal judicial system is available through the U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota<\/a>.<\/p>\n
