Last month, federal officials allegedly deported one of the suspects in a massive 2022 jewelry heist in Southern California where thieves made off with $100 million in merchandise, in what prosecutors have called the largest jewelry heist in U.S. history.

Jeson Nelon Presilla Flores was sent to Ecuador on or about December 29, according to court documents obtained by The Los Angeles Times. He was believed to be linked to a raid on a Brinks truck that netted a fortune in stolen jewels, gold and watches.

I was thinking the same thing… commit a crime, stash the money, then turn yourself in… to ICE, confessing to being an illegal alien. Doesn’t matter if you’re a native citizen, they’ll fly you to the country of your choice to make quota.
