ICE cites joint operations, noting that most suspects were deported.

Overview

  • The agency’s tally nearly doubles the 211 arrests reported in ERO Houston during the final year of the Biden administration.
  • ICE says the group accounted for 761 child sex offenses along with 525 additional crimes ranging from homicide to robbery.
  • Many of those arrested had prior deportations and illegal reentries, and ICE reports that some remain in custody pending immigration proceedings.
  • Case examples include a Mexican national deported after 12 illegal reentries, a Honduran national later turned over to authorities in Honduras, and a U.K. national held at the IAH facility in Livingston.
  • ICE credits cooperation with federal, state, and local partners including the FBI, ATF, DEA, CBP, DSS, and the U.S. Marshals Service across its 58-county Southeast Texas jurisdiction.
