Cristian Romo-Bermejo, a former Virginia Tech student, was arrested in July 2025 following an incident while he was being treated for alcohol poisoning. He was detained by ICE due to his undocumented status and deported before his scheduled Montgomery County Circuit Court appearance on assault charges. Officials confirmed he was no longer at the Farmville Detention Center as of late 2025 and remains outside the United States, missing a subsequent court date in March 2026. Virginia Tech has confirmed he is no longer enrolled as a student.
