Illegal immigrant, fakes her own kidnapping by ice in order to get the sympathy of Americans

A Mexican illegal alien living in Los Angeles was charged with orchestrating her own fake ICE "kidnapping" to generate sympathy and solicit donations, Yuriana Julia Pelaez Calderon, 41, a resident of South Los Angeles, was charged with conspiracy and making false statements to federal officers, The outlet reported that a woman identified as an attorney named Stephano Medina claimed Calderon was cornered in a Jack in the Box parking lot in Los Angeles by men who did not identify themselves but were possibly bounty hunters. Medina claimed Calderon was taken to the border and presented to an"ICE staffer," who demanded she sign self-deportation paperwork.Medina said that when Calderon refused to sign the paperwork, she was taken to a warehouse until she agreed to sign the document. The affidavit said that Calderon's daughter set up a GoFundMe page to raise $4,500 after her mother was "taken by masked men in an unmarked vehicle." The daughter filed a missing person report with the Los Angeles Police Department, which notified Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) of Calderon's supposed kidnapping. According to the affidavit, video surveillance of Calderon's alleged forced abduction further showed her calmly leaving the Jack in the Box parking lot and getting into a nearby sedan. Despite the video showing a marked LAPD car in the vicinity, Calderon did not make any attempts to alert officers that she was in danger.The affidavit states that "when confronted with true information that contradicted their kidnapping story," Calderon and others lied to federal agents and"attempted to thwart law enforcement efforts" by keeping her whereabouts from law enforcement.
