Noel Chinchilla-Avilez was originally ordered to leave the U.S. in 2023 but failed to do so within the mandated 90-day period. In February 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained Chinchilla-Avilez for removal. During the process, he reportedly slipped out of his handcuffs and attempted to flee custody.

Officials stated that the actions of Chinchilla-Avilez directly interfered with federal efforts to enforce immigration law.
