STATEMENT: Attributable to an ICE spokesperson
ICE ERO Philadelphia and the Springdale Police Department arrested Randy Ralphy Cordova Flores, an illegal alien from Peru, during a joint operation in Springdale, Pennsylvania, on Feb. 10. A Springdale Police Officer observed a white Jeep commit a traffic violation and conducted a traffic stop. ERO and Springdale officers arrested the driver, Cordova Flores, who failed to report to his immigration proceedings as ordered by a judge. He will now face consequences for violating our nation’s laws.
In 2023, Border Patrol Agents encountered Cordova Florez near Yuma, Arizona after he unlawfully entered the United States during the Biden Administration’s catch and release program.
Since Springdale Police Department entered into a 287(g) agreement with ICE in November, trained officers have worked alongside ICE ERO personnel to identify and process illegal aliens encountered during local law enforcement activities, consistent with the terms of the agreement and federal law. ICE ERO routinely conducts enforcement actions in Springdale and other communities within the Philadelphia area of responsibility.
