Marius Caldararu, 25, of Romania is accused of being involved in human trafficking. When and how he entered the United States are unknown.
Caldararu was neither inspected nor paroled by an immigration officer when he entered the U.S. On October 11, 2023, he was arrested by the Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in a targeted enforcement action in North Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA.
On December 12, 2023, the field office of ERO in Los Angeles removed Caldararu to Romania. He was turned over to proper authorities to face the charges filed against him in his home country.
ERO Los Angeles field office director Thomas Giles said Caldararu is accused of “serious crimes” and will now “face justice” in Romania. Giles added that the Romanian man’s removal “not only holds him accountable for his alleged crimes but also removes a threat from our streets”.
In the U.S., the states with the largest Romanian population are New York, California and Florida. Both born in Los Angeles, “Megalopolis” actor Dustin Hoffman, 86, and “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F” star Joseph Gordon-Levitt, 42, are of Romanian-Jewish descent.
Former National Football League player Samuel Paulescu, 39, was born in Los Angeles to Romanian parents. Born in Northridge, California to Romanian parents, Hroniss Grasu, 32, has been playing for the NFL team Las Vegas Raiders since 2021.
