20 North Carolina ICE Hold Orders Carried Forged Magistrate Signatures, Investigators Say

Investigators in Guilford County, North Carolina, found 20 ICE detainer orders authorizing up to 48-hour extended detention carried allegedly forged magistrate signatures. Sheriff Danny H. Rogers said the case began after magistrates flagged a filing for inmate Claudio Nepornuceno, who was never presented for review. The probe remains ongoing.
