WASHINGTON, D.C. - As the second full week in June came to a close, ICE removed several criminal illegal immigrants convicted of crimes ranging from sexual assault of children to drug possession and murder, according to a press release from ICE.
Approximately 70% of the illegal immigrants arrested have criminal histories. Those removed include the following: Francis Polycarpe, from the Bahamas; Pedro Antonio Luna, from El Salvador; Jose Miguel Chavarria-Cruz, from Mexico; Luis Campusano, from the Dominican Republic; and Nestor Hugo Gomez Garcia, from Colombia.
Polycarpe was convicted of attempted sexual assault on a child. He entered the U.S. on a B-2 visa in 2001. In 2018, he was convicted in the District Court of Douglas County, Nebraska, for the attempted sexual assault on a child.
Luna was convicted of sexual assault on a minor child-relative. He entered the U.S. illegally in 1998 and was granted temporary status in 2002, which was terminated in 2007. He was ordered removed by a Department of Justice immigration judge in April 2026.
Chavarria-Cruz was convicted of second-degree murder and aggravated robbery. He is an active member of the Surenos 13 gang and entered the U.S. illegally in 1996.
Campusano was convicted of sexual abuse and rape. He was ordered removed by a Department of Justice immigration judge in November 2025.
Garcia was convicted of conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute cocaine. He was paroled into the U.S. for criminal prosecution in 2022.
"ICE protects the American public by removing as many dangerous and violent criminals as we possibly can, using every resource at our disposal,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Executive Associate Director Marcos Charles.
“DHS has removed or returned nearly 900,000 illegal aliens since Jan. 20, 2025. ICE removal flights, including those conducted in partnership with the Department of War, help ensure these criminal illegal aliens are out of our communities and cannot threaten our families, friends or neighbors."
According to ICE, criminal illegal immigrants will be removed as quickly as possible after receiving full due process. Individuals can report crimes and suspicious activity by dialing 866-DHS-2-ICE (866-347-2423) or completing the online tip form.
