Husband Tries To Bribe ICE Agent To Deport His Wife and Daughter - Gets 4 Months In Jail
An Oregon man was sentenced to four months in prison on Monday for trying to bribe an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer to deport his wife and her daughter.
Antonio Oswaldo Burgos, 48, pleaded guilty in November to bribing the deportation officer in May 2018, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon said in a news release, citing court documents.
Burgos followed the officer from the ICE office in Portland, where Burgos is located, to Vancouver, Washington, a roughly 10-mile drive north. He tried paying the officer to deport his wife, whom he met in El Salvador and was divorcing, and her daughter from a previous relationship. The ICE officer declined and reported Burgos.
A week later, the officer, along with ICE investigators, made a recorded call to Burgos, in which he offered $3,000 to force his wife out of the U.S. A similar call took place the following week, and Burgos and the officer planned an in-person meeting.
When the two met as part of the sting operation, Burgos offered $4,000 to the ICE agent to deport his wife and her daughter.
How much do you hate your wife or husband? Every married man or woman at one point gets a little sick of their significant other. Divorce usually is the best route if those situations ever get too extreme. Well this man went to new heights. On top of already being in the process of divorcing his wife, he decided he would try to bribe an ICE agent to deport her and her daughter out of the country. Next level.
The result? Four months in prison…for him. That sure didn’t go how he thought huh? Yeah, it seems like ICE agents aren’t the type of people who can be bought. At least not for $3k. If we’re talking $10k maybe we don’t know about this story. We’ll never know.

I feel like this has given a lot of husbands and wives ideas. Next time they get sick and tired of their significant other maybe they’ll find an ICE agent and meet their price. Pandora’s box has been open.
