(Eagle News) — Two American fugitives were arrested in separate operations by immigration agents this month, the Bureau of Immigration said on Thursday, March 7.
In a statement, the BI said Apollo Cioffi, 46, who has a warrant for arrest for assault issued by a superior court in San Francisco, was arrested on March 1 in a Baguio mall.
Four days later, William Schweizer, 32, who has a standing warrant for felony battery by strangulation issued by a court in Broward County in Florida, was nabbed inside his residence at the Tivoli Garden Residences in Mandaluyong.
The BI said both Schweizer and Cioffi have been overstaying in the country since the State Department has revoked their passports.
“Like all the other foreign fugitives whom we have arrested in the past, we will deport these two undesirable aliens and ban them from re-entering the Philippines,” BI commissioner Jaime Morente said in a statement.
“They have no place in our country, as their presence here poses a risk to our people,” he added.
