Five IVM leaders discovered to be undocumented
New developments in the Imperial Valley Ministries case, where News 11 has just learned that five of the six leaders arrested are undocumented, according to prosecutors.
The information was released in federal court in El Centro Tuesday during their first appearance. According to prosecutors Arnoldo Bugarin , 47, Azucena Torres aka Susana Bugarin , 43, Ana Karen Robles-Ortiz aka Karen Partida , 29, Jose Gaytan , 47, and Sonia Murillo, 51, are all undocumented.
The Assistant United States Attorney ( AUSA ) on the case requested that the five undocumented leaders be detained during the entire court process, due to the potential of them leaving the country if they are released.
