ICE Holds Mexican Transport Executive Manfred Quintanilla in California

Mexico is reportedly seeking his extradition following a surge in legal cases tied to his business dealings.

Overview

  • ICE’s detainee locator lists Quintanilla under A-Number 246058749, noting he was arrested more than a week ago and is held at the Adelanto detention center pending a status review.
  • Some outlets report an expired visa and an alleged drug finding and place him in San Bernardino, but those details have not been confirmed by U.S. authorities.
  • Grupo TUM said he is a non-executive, minority shareholder and stated that operations, contracts, and staffing continue without interruption.
  • Despite the controversies, companies linked to Quintanilla retain major public work in Mexico, including a Servicio Postal Mexicano contract running through 2027.
  • The detention follows a recent U.S. State Department move to revoke visas for executives of an unnamed Mexican transport company over alleged migrant facilitation.
