Chicago: ICE Deports Guatemalan Illegal Alien Despite Defiance From Mayor Johnson and Gov. Pritzker

CHICAGO, IL - Despite defiance from both Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, two unhinged Democrats, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced that a Guatemalan illegal alien has been dispatched to his home country as part of Operation Midway Blitz.

Hugo Rene Figueroa-Choc, 49, was sent packing on Oct. 15, 2025. He is wanted in Guatemala for reckless harm, causing bodily injury. He was removed on an ICE Air Operations Charter flight and handed over to Guatemalan authorities. 

“This removal highlights ICE’s steadfast commitment to safeguarding our communities and ensuring that individuals who violate U.S. immigration laws and endanger public safety are held accountable,” said ERO Chicago Field Office Director Sam Olson. “Figueroa-Choc’s repeated criminal actions posed a serious threat, and ICE remains focused on removing individuals who jeopardize the safety and security of our nation.” 

Figueroa-Choc was first picked up by U.S. Border Patrol near Eagle Pass, Texas, on April 5, 2006, and processed for expedited removal. He was deported on April 22, 2011, ICE said, via a charter flight through San Antonio, Texas. He reentered the United States illegally at some unknown point. 

On Oct. 7, 2025, ICE Chicago, in collaboration with the U.S. Marshals Service’s Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force, arrested Figueroa-Choc during a targeted operation. 

In the release, ICE said: “ICE remains committed to enforcing immigration laws and prioritizing the removal of individuals who pose a threat to public safety.”
