An illegal alien couple, previously deported in 2019, has resurfaced in Northern Nevada.
Keyli Escalante-Enamorado, 21, and Rudy Socop-Domingo, 23, were apprehended during a routine traffic stop in Minden, where authorities uncovered a cache of stolen mail, including personal and business checks totaling over $555,000.
Deputy District Attorney Bethany Towne, representing the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office, expressed concern over the couple’s alleged crimes.
“We are dealing with a case of significant magnitude,” Towne remarked. “The impact of their actions has reverberated across four states, affecting 330 victims, 21 of whom reside right here in Douglas County.”
During their appearance in East Fork Justice Court following their arrest, Towne asked for a higher bail, citing the potential flight risk posed by the couple.
“Their indication of traveling to Los Angeles after their time in Reno raises red flags,” she stated. “We must ensure they remain in custody to face the consequences of their actions.”
Attorney Max Stovall, representing the couple for the bail hearing, pointed to their circumstances in requesting a reasonable bail amount.
“My clients have a 3-month-old child at home,” Stovall emphasized. “Setting bail at $25,000 each would allow them to address their legal matters while ensuring their family remains intact.”
The discovery of nearly 300 pieces of stolen mail and homemade mail fishing devices shed light on the couple’s alleged modus operandi.
“These individuals were engaged in systematic theft and forgery,” said the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO). “Their actions pose a serious threat to the integrity of our community.”
Both Escalante-Enamorado and Socop-Domingo are allegedly in the U.S. illegally.
“We have alerted ICE and requested an immigration hold on the suspects,” the DCSO confirmed. “Furthermore, we have enlisted the assistance of federal agencies to ensure a thorough investigation into this matter.”
The stolen mail and checks were from Storey, Lyon, Carson City, and Washoe Counties, as well as several locations in California.
