ARLINGTON, VA – Earlier in October, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents operating out of the D.C. office took into custody an illegal immigrant from El Salvador who reportedly hosts an extensive criminal history including past violent attacks aimed at law enforcement.
ICE announced the arrest of Carlos Ramirez-Guzman via a press release on October 29th, noting the Salvadoran illegal alien was taken into custody on October 17th in Arlington. Ramirez-Guzman reportedly has a criminal history in the United States going back decades as well as multiple deportations going back nearly 20 years.
According to the agency, Ramirez-Guzman illegally entered the United States at an unknown date, time, and location but began accruing his first criminal convictions as far back as 1996.
Between September 1996 and April 2015, ICE claims Ramirez-Guzman had been charged with numerous offenses, including, “aggravated assault with a deadly weapon on a law enforcement officer; domestic battery; exhibition of a dangerous weapon; resisting, obstructing, or opposing a law enforcement officer; disorderly conduct; and illegally reentering the United States after deportation.”
As for prior convictions, the agency noted Ramirez-Guzman had been previously found guilty of illegal reentry, resisting arrest, an unspecified weapons offense, and disorderly conduct. The Salvadoran illegal alien had also been removed from the country on three separate occasions in 2006, 2014, and 2016.
ICE Washington, D.C. Field Office Director Russ Hott issued a statement regarding what will ultimately result in Ramirez-Guzman’s fourth official removal from the country, saying, “Carlos Ramirez-Guzman’s violent criminal history renders him a significant public safety threat that ICE Washington, D.C. will not tolerate.”
Director Hott noted that Ramirez-Guzman’s apprehension, which occurred slightly over two weeks into the federal government shutdown, is indicative of the agency’s efforts to “continue to prioritize the safety of our Virginia and Washington, D.C. communities by arresting and removing such threats to our neighbors.”
