The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced on Monday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested a criminal illegal alien accused of attacking a police officer and frequently re-entering the United States after being deported.
According to officials, Carlos Ramirez-Guzman, an El Salvadoran national, was detained on October 17 in Arlington, Virginia. He was previously deported in 2006, 2014, and 2016 but re-entered at an unknown time and location, avoiding inspection, admission, or parole by immigration authorities.
In addition to the felony accusation of reentering the United States, officials claim Ramirez-Guzman has an “extensive criminal history” spanning two decades.
His charges include aggravated assault with a lethal weapon on a law enforcement officer and resisting, obstructing, or opposing an officer. He is also facing accusations of domestic violence, displaying a dangerous weapon, and disruptive behavior.
“Carlos Ramirez-Guzman racked up an extensive criminal history over the last 21 years he has spent ignoring America’s laws,” DHS assistant secretary for public affairs Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.
“Not only has this man been removed from our country on THREE previous occasions, but he also has a violent criminal history of assault with a deadly weapon on a law enforcement officer, domestic battery, and resisting arrest.”
McLaughlin highlighted that Ramirez-Guzman’s long-running criminal rampage will be brought to a halt under the leadership of President Donald Trump and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.
“GOOD RIDDANCE, you are not welcome in this country,” she added.
ICE will hold Ramirez-Guzman until his deportation from the United States.
