Quoted context

These are the quoted author’s words.

US immigration authorities allowed one suspect in the largest jewelry heist in US history, worth up to $100 million, to voluntarily leave the country for South America in December, The Guardian reports. Jeson Nelon Presilla Flores, facing up to 15 years in prison, requested voluntary departure from ICE, which approved it without prosecutors' knowledge. Prosecutors learned of the deportation only afterward while preparing for trial and are stunned by the lack of coordination in such a major case. Former prosecutors call the situation highly unusual, as immigration services typically align with prosecution in serious criminal matters.
