TOPEKA, Kan. — November 3, 2025
A Topeka man, Luis Enrique Andrade-Melveno, 22, was booked into the Shawnee County Department of Corrections on Monday afternoon and is now being held on multiple “no bond” warrants, including a fugitive arrest and an immigration hold issued by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
According to jail records, Andrade-Melveno was taken into custody at 2:05 p.m. on November 3, 2025, under warrant number 2025-85881 for “Fugitive From Justice – Arrest Prior to Requisition.” The record also lists holds from North Carolina and federal ICE authorities, as well as a “hold for positive identification.”
All charges currently carry no bond, meaning Andrade-Melveno will remain in custody until transferred or released by the appropriate jurisdiction.
The booking report identifies the suspect as a 22-year-old white male, born April 14, 2003, with all holds confirmed through agency KS0890100.
At this time, it remains unclear whether the ICE detainer will result in federal removal proceedings or if state-level charges will be addressed first.
Context: ICE Holds in Shawnee County
ICE detainers, often referred to as “immigration holds,” allow federal authorities to request that local law enforcement hold an individual for up to 48 hours beyond their scheduled release. The detainer gives ICE time to assume custody and begin immigration enforcement procedures.
This marks the latest in a series of ICE holds in Topeka over the past several weeks, reflecting increased coordination between local and federal agencies.
