Authorities arrested a Honduran who was previously removed from the U.S. half a dozen times, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The gang member, who was arrested on February 1 after illegally entering the U.S. near Newport, Vermont, has a significant criminal record, the ICE press release indicated.
"The Honduran national was removed from the United States in January 2006, twice in June 2013, February 2015, July 2015 and February 2016. He has been convicted of DWI, assault and battery, unauthorized use of a vehicle, illegal entry, disorderly conduct and drug trafficking. During an immigration hearing, he admitted he was affiliated with the Sicarios New Yorkers-XV-18 branch of the 18th Street Gang," ICE noted.
"In October 2022, a Honduran court convicted him of drug trafficking charges and sentenced him to four years and six months of incarceration. After he failed to appear to serve his sentence in July 2023, the court issued a warrant for his arrest," the press release noted. "The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) again arrested the gang member Feb. 1, 2024, after he unlawfully entered the United States near Newport, Vermont, without being inspected, admitted or paroled by a designated immigration official."
The arrest demonstrates the importance of border security for the sake of public safety.
Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens has noted that authorities recently arrested a Mexican man who had served time for molestation of a minor. "USBP agents in Laredo, TX arrested another child predator trying to enter our country illegally. This subject, a Mexican National, served 10 yrs in prison for a Molestation of a Minor, a felony conviction," Owens' tweet stated.

Police arrest 28-year-old immigrant who allegedly posed as teenager to attend high school for entire year
Police arrested a 28-year-old immigrant they claim fraudulently attended a Louisiana high school.
Last month, school administrators at Hahnville High School received a tip that a woman in her mid-20s was attending the school by posing as a 17-year-old teenager. The school began an investigation and notified the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office on May 29.
The investigation led police to arrest 28-year-old Martha Jessenia Gutierrez-Serrano and her mother, 46-year-old Marta Elizeth Serrano-Alvarado. Police allege Serrano-Alvarado successfully enrolled her adult daughter in the school "using a fraudulent passport and birth certificate" from Honduras.
While it's not clear how school officials were tipped off, police said that Gutierrez-Serrano attended Hahnville High School as a freshman for the entirety of the 2022-2023 school year.
"Gutierrez-Serrano was not involved in any extracurricular activities, and we are not aware of any disciplinary issues while attending school. She utilized school transportation to and from school. There is no current evidence of any other criminal activity or inappropriate conduct by either Serrano-Alvarado or Gutierrez-Serrano," police explained in a statement.
At a news conference on Wednesday, St. Charles Parish Sheriff Greg Champagne revealed Gutierrez-Serrano attended the school because she "wanted to learn English. She wanted to become proficient in the English language."
"There was no nefarious reason behind this," he explained.
Regarding the immigration status of the women, Champagne explained at the press conference that Serrano-Alvarado was living in the U.S. on an expired visa, while Gutierrez-Serrano entered the U.S. through New Mexico in 2021. She was released by immigration authorities after processing, which is routine procedure for immigrants who claim asylum.
Champagne said he saw the photo that immigration authorities snapped of Gutierrez-Serrano before releasing her, observing that she could "very easily be taken for a young teenager — without a doubt."
"It's not the crime of the century," he said. "We're not here to bang on these people. The purpose of getting an education, learning English, is something we want everybody to do. But you can't defraud the government, and you can't enroll in a school if you're 10 years over the age that is allowed."
Police charged both women with one count of injuring public records. They were released from jail on bond.

Unaccompanied migrant child dies in US custody, a tragedy Biden called 'unacceptable' when Trump was president
The Biden administration confirmed Friday that an unaccompanied migrant child who came to the United States from Honduras has died.
The Department of Health and Human Services, which is responsible for caring for unaccompanied migrant children through the Office of Refugee Resettlement, provided no details about the child's death.
"[HHS] is deeply saddened by this tragic loss and our heart goes out to the family, with whom we are in touch," the agency said in a statement.
Honduran Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Reina confirmed the death, identifying the child as 17-year-old Ángel Eduardo Maradiaga Espinoza, who was placed in a migrant facility in Safety Harbor, Florida. He said that Honduran President Xiomara Castro de Zelaya has requested an "exhaustive" investigation into Espinoza's death to ensure there is full accountability for anyone responsible for the death.
According to CNN, Espinoza was taken to a local hospital on Wednesday after being found unconscious. Tragically, he was pronounced dead after resuscitation attempts failed to revive him.
A medical examiner is investigating the death.
There were about 8,700 unaccompanied migrant children in U.S. custody as of Wednesday. Most spend about one month in U.S. custody while they await being released to a sponsor, who is most often a family member already in the U.S.
Meanwhile, CNN reported this is not the first unaccompanied migrant child death under President Joe Biden. The outlet obtained a congressional note revealing that a 4-year-old migrant child from Honduras died in mid-March while in U.S. custody. That tragic death had not been previously reported.
Anything else?
In 2019, Joe Biden condemned tragic deaths of unaccompanied migrant children in U.S. custody as "unacceptable."
"Over the last year, six children have tragically died in US custody at the border. It’s unacceptable. It’s not who we are. And silence is complicity. It’s on all of us to stand up and speak out. America is a nation of immigrants. We must guarantee everyone's treated with dignity," Biden said at the time.

Mass 'execution style' shooting leaves 5 dead, including a young child; suspect remains at large
A gunman who allegedly killed five people Friday night, including an 8-year-old child, remains on the loose, KVUE and other outlets reported.
Authorities found multiple people shot inside a home about 55 miles northeast of Houston, five of whom have died, according to KVUE. All were shot "almost execution style" from the neck up.
The youngest victim, who reportedly died at the hospital, was just 8 years old. Four other victims were found dead at the scene.
Two female victims were found in a bedroom laying on top of two surviving children. Capers said he believed the women were trying to shield the children, who were unharmed.
"The Honduran ladies that were laying over these children were doing it in such an effort as to protect the child," San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers said, as the Associated Press reported.
Ten people, all from Honduras, were inside the home when the shots rang out. Some in the house had just moved from Houston earlier in the week, the outlet also reported.
Authorities say they received a call about 11:30 p.m. in the 100 bock of Walters Road in the Trails End area of Cleveland. Night shift patrol deputies were dispatched to the residence to address a harassment complaint.
Cleveland is a town of about 8,000 people in southeast Texas.
While en route, they received multiple 911 calls about an active shooter. On arrival, they found "multiple victims deceased in the [residence] and several others in critical condition from multiple gunshot wounds."
The alleged shooter, a 39-year-old neighbor whose identity is known to authorities, was reportedly shooting a gun on his porch. Neighbors confronted him about it, asking him to stop, noting that it was disrupting a baby's sleep.
"One of the victims came out of the house saying 'we have a small baby that's trying to sleep,' and the man said 'I'll shoot out in my front yard, do what I want to in my own residence,'" Sheriff Capers said in an interview with reporters.
The shooter was drunk when he began shooting an AR-style rifle, deputies told KTRK.
Judge Wells issued a warrant for the shooter's arrest and assigned a $5 million bond, Sheriff Capers reported in a Facebook post for the San Jacinto County Sheriff's Office.
Texas Rangers were on scene on aiding with the investigation.
SJCSO asked people to avoid the area, as there was still a heavy police presence Saturday morning.
