Summary
June 19 marked Rico’s arrest in Silver Spring, Maryland, after DHS said the Argentine citizen stayed in the U.S. about a decade beyond his authorized visa period.
DHS said Rico entered through Miami in 2006 on a visa he told authorities was for a Disney World trip, but remained after his lawful stay expired in 2016.
Maryland records cited by DHS show an assault conviction and a prior arrest on a third-degree sex offense, which officials highlighted in announcing the case.
The arrest fits a broader Trump administration push to tighten visa enforcement, expand vetting and target overstays and alleged fraud in temporary entry programs.
