Story summary

On November 10, 2026, Rony Alexander Gomez-Alberto, a 34-year-old Honduran national with a history of illegally entering the United States and being deported twice, was arrested after attempting to enter the cockpit of a United Airlines flight from Newark, New Jersey, to New Orleans. During the flight, Gomez-Alberto allegedly claimed to have a bomb, prompting pilots to issue a hijacking alert before landing safely at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport without further incident.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had lodged a detainer for Gomez-Alberto with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office after he attempted to gain entry into the cockpit. According to DHS, Gomez-Alberto was arrested by local authorities upon landing in New Orleans. Notably, ICE reported that Gomez-Alberto had been apprehended multiple times for illegal entry and deportation but was released pending removal proceedings on at least one occasion.

The incident has reignited debates about immigration policies and border security in the United States.
