ICE Denver officers arrest illegal Mexican national charged with burglary, strangulation and kidnapping

DENVER — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Luz Maria Ramirez-Monreal, an illegally present Mexican national, in Montrose County, Colorado, Jan. 29.

“Ms. Ramirez entered our country legally but overstayed her welcome and decided to run amok in our community,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Denver Field Office Director Robert Guadian. “Her decisions show a clear and present threat to our communities, and I think we’ve made it clear that it won’t be tolerated.”

Ramirez lawfully entered the United States on March 3, 2022 but later violated the terms of her lawful admission.

Officials in Montrose, Colorado, charged Ramirez with burglary, assault, possession of a controlled substance with three priors, and child abuse on Nov. 17, 2024. She was again arrested and charged Jan. 25, 2025, with harassment, kidnapping, resisting arrest and violation of a protective order.

ICE officers issued Ramirez a notice to appear before a DOJ immigration judge following her arrest and she remains in ERO custody.
