Leidy Tatiana Mafla-Martinez was a TikTok influencer involved with providing information related to ICE raids in California. She was in the United States illegally and was livestreaming when ICE caught up to her and detained her. Her arrest involved a Driving Under the Influence (DUI) conviction as well as on her being in the U.S. illegally. Another illegal alien was arrested around the same time. Bobby Nunez utilized his tow-truck against the ICE patrol vehicle used by the agents who arrested Mafla-Martinez.<\/p>\n

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin commented on the arrest at the time, saying, “On August 15, ICE arrested Leidy Tatiana Mafla-Martinez, a criminal illegal alien from Colombia who was convicted for driving under the influence in Los Angeles.”<\/p>\n

In a social media post on X (formerly Twitter), McLaughlin added, “This criminal illegal alien entered the country in 2022 and was RELEASED by the Biden administration,” she added. According to McLaughlin, Mafla Martinez claimed to have experienced shortness of breath during the arrest and was provided medical attention at the time.<\/p>\n

During her arrest, an illegal alien tow-truck driver was arrested after he allegedly towed off an ICE patrol vehicle being used in the arrest of the influencer, Breitbart Texas reported.<\/p>\n

In her social media post, McLaughlin described the chaotic scene surrounding Mafla-Martinez’s arrest that also involved the unlawful towing and theft of an ICE government vehicle used during the arrest. The suspect involved in the theft of the patrol vehicle was identified as Bobby Nunez.<\/p>\n

Nunez was arrested in early September and is now facing a charge of theft of government property. According to United States Attorney Bill Essalyi, Nunez faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted on the charges.<\/p>\n

Mafla-Martinez was represented in her unsuccessful deportation case by immigration attorney Carlos Jurado of The Jurado Firm based in Long Beach. Jurado believed Mafla-Martinez was targeted specifically for her online activities, telling ABC7 Eyewitness News at the time, “We believe, at this point, based on things that have been said to her, is that, because she was out filming ICE activities, she was targeted.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
