Diego Ibarra showed the officer a U.S. permanent resident card, otherwise known as a green card, as identification. The card was determined to be fraudulent, and Diego Ibarra was processed for expedited removal, but he claimed a credible fear of returning to his home country of Venezuela. He was then released from immigration custody pending adjudication of his claim for asylum on April 30, 2024.Since entering the country, Diego Ibarra has been arrested three times by Athens law enforcement. In late September, he was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and driving without a license. About a month later, he was arrested for shoplifting, and in December he was arrested for failure to appear for a fingerprintable offense.Melissa Hodges, a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Middle District of Georgia, said she can confirm Diego Ibarra is undocumented but cannot say the same for his brother."I can confirm Jose Ibarra is from Venezuela only. Diego is undocumented from Venezuela," Hodges told Fox News Digital. "I do not have the details on Jose Ibarra."
