In February, Anghel was arrested by authorities in Texas and handed over to ICE agents, who deported him to Romania for overstaying his temporary worker visa, according to a statement by ICE spokeswoman Nina Pruneda. Pruneda said Anghel was arrested again on May 10 near Roma, Texas and was transferred into ICE custody in Laredo, where he stayed until his planned June 10 deportation.

Patch has reached out to ICE for comment on Anghel's escape, and will update this story as new information comes in.
