联邦官员周一宣布，一名来自墨西哥的非法移民承认在2025年策划了一起虚假绑架案，谎称自己被联邦特工或代表联邦特工行事的人员绑架。
Federal officials on Monday announced that an illegal alien from Mexico pleaded guilty to staging a fake kidnapping in 2025, falsely claiming she had been abducted by federal agents or people acting on their behalf.
据加利福尼亚中区联邦检察官第一助理检察官比拉尔·A·埃萨伊利办公室称，居住在南洛杉矶的尤里安娜·朱莉娅·佩拉埃斯·卡尔德龙（Yuriana Julia Pelaez Calderón，43岁）捏造了自己的失踪，旨在激起媒体愤慨，为起诉边境巡逻队制造借口，随后潜逃躲藏。
Yuriana Julia Pelaez Calderón, 43, of South Los Angeles, fabricated her disappearance to stir media outrage and build a case for a lawsuit against Border Patrol before going into hiding, according to the Office of First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bilal A. Essayli for the Central District of California.
官员表示：“在2025年6月和7月，卡尔德龙伪造了自己被联邦特工或代表联邦特工行事的代理人逮捕的情景。”
"In June and July of 2025, Calderón faked her apprehension by federal agents or surrogates acting on behalf of federal agents," officials said.
检察官办公室称，卡尔德龙反复使用匿名和屏蔽来电显示的电话联系他人，编造虚假叙事。
According to the attorney’s office, Calderón repeatedly contacted individuals using anonymous and blocked phone calls to build a fraudulent narrative.
官员表示，她谎称联邦特工在多个地点绑架并拘留了她。在伪造获释过程中，她还改变容貌，制造自己在羁押期间遭受虐待的假象。
She falsely claimed federal agents had abducted and detained her at multiple locations, officials said. As she staged her release, she also altered her appearance to make it appear as though she had been mistreated in custody.
法庭文件显示，2025年6月25日，卡尔德龙谎告诉某人称，移民官员在一家快餐店附近将她拘留，并声称特工威胁要砸碎车窗。
Court documents show that on June 25, 2025, Calderón falsely told an individual that immigration officials were taking her into custody near a fast-food restaurant and claimed agents had threatened to break her window.
两天后，卡尔德龙据报使用来电屏蔽功能联系了一名租户权益倡导者，提出另一项虚假指控。她据称谎称当局将她带到圣伊西德罗，并强迫她签署驱逐文件。
Two days later, Calderón reportedly used caller ID blocking to contact a tenants' rights advocate with another false claim. She allegedly lied that authorities had taken her to San Ysidro and forced her to sign deportation papers.
同一天，她据报告诉另一人称，自己被转移到一处不知名的仓库，与其他被拘留者一起被关押。
That same day, she reportedly told another individual that she had been moved to an unknown warehouse, where she was being held with other detainees.
官员表示：“由于卡尔德龙的故意谎言，媒体和执法部门接到虚假信息，称卡尔德龙被‘戴面具的便衣男子驾驶无标识车辆绑架’，这些人作为联邦特工或联邦特工的代理人行事。”
"As a result of Calderón’s intentional lies, false information was reported to the media and law enforcement that Calderón had been ‘kidnapped’ by masked men in plain clothes driving an unmarked vehicle, who were acting as federal agents or as surrogates of federal agents," officials said.
当卡尔德龙“选择躲藏在贝克斯菲尔德”时，她的虚假言论促使社区组织者要求释放她，官员称。
While Calderón "chose to stay hidden in Bakersfield," her false claims prompted community organizers to demand her release, according to officials.
2025年7月3日，卡尔德龙据报再次使用来电显示屏蔽功能联系一名人士，虚假声称因媒体报道她即将获释。
On July 3, 2025, Calderón again reportedly used caller ID blocking to contact an individual, falsely claiming she would soon be released because of the media coverage.
同一天，她从贝克斯菲尔德前往图莱里县，摆拍从“边境巡逻队”获释的场景，并接触一名人士，让其在她的案件中充当证人，官员称。
That same day, she traveled from Bakersfield to Tulare County to stage her release from "Border Patrol" and approached an individual about serving as a witness in her case, officials said.
“卡尔德龙还改变了自己的外貌，使其看起来像是在羁押期间遭受了虐待。一名共谋者拍摄了卡尔德龙改变外貌后的照片，”官员称。
"Calderón also altered her appearance to make it appear that she had been mistreated while in custody. A co-conspirator took photographs of Calderón’s altered appearance," officials said.
据检察官办公室称，随后两天，卡尔德龙在知晓执法部门正在寻找她的情况下，关闭手机并拒绝回电。
For the next two days, Calderón turned off her phones and refused to return calls when she knew law enforcement was looking for her, according to the attorney’s office.
卡尔德龙就一项妨碍、阻挠、损害及挫败国土安全调查局在联邦管辖范围内合法职能的共谋罪名认罪。她的聆讯定于2027年2月8日举行。她面临最高五年联邦监禁的法定最高刑期。
Calderón pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to impede, obstruct, impair and defeat the lawful function of Homeland Security Investigations within federal jurisdiction. Her hearing is scheduled for Feb. 8, 2027. She faces a statutory maximum sentence of five years in federal prison.
