BUSTED: Illegal Alien Faked Citizenship to Work at Military Contractor for 30 Years

This is (almost) unbelievable.

An illegal immigrant from Mexico has been arrested in Los Angeles, CA for lying about her citizenship in order to land a job at a prominent military contractor.

And, get this — she was able to get away with it for over three decades!

54-year-old Alma Patricia Contreras Villafana was taken into custody by federal agents on Friday after an hours-long standoff at the Howmet Aerospace factory where she was employed as a machinist for 30 years.

U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli shared the details:

Alma Patricia Contreras Villafana, 54, of South Los Angeles, a Mexican national who ignored a decades-old deportation order, was arrested today in Torrance on an eight-count federal indictment charging her with lying about being a U.S. citizen to secure a job at an aerospace manufacturer and U.S. military contractor.

According to the indictment, Villafana first used the false claim in 1996 and repeated it as recently as 2026, despite a 2003 removal order. Over three decades, she obtained more than $1.4 million in wages through wire deposits. She also falsely claimed U.S. citizenship on multiple Form I-9s and used another person’s certificate of naturalization number to keep her job.

She is charged with wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, use of a false naturalization certificate, and falsely claiming U.S. citizenship. She is expected to make her initial appearance Monday in federal court in downtown Los Angeles.

The California Post has photos from her arrest:

Reportedly, the company put up a struggle when authorities showed up to arrest Contreras Villafana.

She refused to leave the building for over two hours as company officials denied agents entrance.

But, in the end, she emerged and was immediately handcuffed.

She’s now staring down potential decades behind bars.

The New York Post reported further:

Immigration records show Contreras Villafana was previously ordered to leave the US.

“For over 30 years, this defendant allegedly lied her way into a job at an aerospace company that contracts directly with our military, gaining access she should never have had,” said Los Angeles’ top federal prosecutor, Bill Essayli.

“Employing non-citizens in positions tied to sensitive military and defense work jeopardizes our national security, plain and simple. A breach like this, undetected for three decades, is exactly why we take these cases so seriously.”

Court papers say Contreras Villafana first secured employment at a Howmet subsidiary in 1996 by attesting on her Form I-9 that she was a US citizen. In fact, she had been ordered to leave the country by an immigration judge in 2003.

Contreras Villafana submitted another I-9 this year falsely stating she was a US citizen to keep her job at Howmet, providing a certificate of naturalization number that belonged to another person, according to court papers.

Over the three decades she worked at Howmet and its subsidiary, she was paid at least $1,402,459, prosecutors said.

If convicted, Contreras Villafana faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison for each wire fraud count, up to 10 years in prison for use of a false and forged certificate of naturalization, up to three years for falsely claiming US citizenship, and a mandatory two-year consecutive prison sentence for aggravated identity theft.

It’s astonishing how this illegal Mexican immigrant was able to fake U.S. citizenship and keep such an important job for 30 years.

In fact, it’s incredibly alarming!

How in the world didn’t an aerospace manufacturer that does business with the U.S. military catch that sooner?

And, here’s an even more concerning question: how many more like her are there out there?

Take a look at some of these responses from folks on X:

Illegal aliens working at a US defense contractor is a scary proposition.

How many more like this illegal alien work in sensitive occupations? https://t.co/IQm93cCVf7

The company employees that harbored her during the standoff should face consequences as well. https://t.co/mcuY24X79o
