In 2022, nearly 854,000 foreign nationals had overstayed their visas — a record.
Romero remains in Jackson County Jail on a $2 million bail, and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has placed a detainer on him. The detainer requests that if Romero is released from jail at any time, he will be turned over to ICE agents for deportation.
