ICE Arrests Two Individuals with Criminal Histories
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has apprehended two individuals who are in the country illegally and have been convicted of serious crimes. These arrests took place during targeted operations in New Jersey and Texas. The individuals involved are identified as Gladys Leticia Bustamente-Rios from Honduras and Maria Alejandra Gamarro-Quinonez from Guatemala.
Bustamente-Rios has a history of being removed from the United States and is currently barred from reentering the country. This legal status indicates that she has previously faced immigration enforcement actions that resulted in her deportation. Gamarro-Quinonez, on the other hand, has a final order of removal, which means that she has been ordered to leave the United States but has not yet complied with that order.
ICE’s operations are part of ongoing efforts to enforce immigration laws and ensure public safety. The agency focuses on individuals who pose a threat to communities, particularly those with criminal backgrounds. The arrests of Bustamente-Rios and Gamarro-Quinonez highlight the agency’s commitment to targeting individuals who have been convicted of serious offenses, especially those involving vulnerable populations such as children.
These operations are conducted in accordance with ICE’s priorities, which include the apprehension of individuals who have been convicted of crimes and those who have violated immigration laws. The agency works in collaboration with local law enforcement to identify and apprehend individuals who meet these criteria.
ICE continues to emphasize the importance of public safety in its enforcement actions. The agency’s operations are designed to remove individuals who have been determined to be a risk to the community, thereby contributing to the overall safety and security of the public.
As these cases proceed, ICE will continue to monitor and enforce immigration laws while ensuring that the rights of all individuals are respected throughout the process. The agency remains focused on its mission to uphold the law and protect communities across the United States.
