ICE arrests Obama donor millionaire fugitives from Ecuador

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) this week arrested two millionaire fugitives from Ecuador whose family donated heavily to American political campaigns.
Roberto and William Isaías, 74 and 75, were detained Wednesday in Miami and taken to a detention facility for undocumented immigrants awaiting deportation, The New York Times reported Friday.
ICE told The Times that the brothers were “unlawfully present” in the U.S.
The Ecuadorean government alleges that the brothers cost the country $400 million and has sought their extradition for years.
As Ecuador sought the duo's extradition, the Isaías family reportedly donated tens of thousands of dollars to members of the U.S. Congress and $90,000 to former President Obama’s reelection campaign.
The Department of Justice rejected Ecuador’s extradition request a year after the brothers' donation to Obama's reelection campaign, saying the request lacked sufficient proof. The Obama administration has denied accusations by the Ecuadorean government that its decision to deny the request was impacted by the donation.
