ICE Corpus Christi arrested Sergio Arquimides Pineda on Monday, an aggravated felon and MS-13 gang member who was in the U.S. illegally, a White House official told the Caller.

Pineda, who was criminally convicted for assault, was first ordered for removal by an immigration judge in May 2015 and had an outstanding order of deportation for failing to appear at his immigration hearing, according to the information shared with the Caller. He has since been processed for removal and will remain in ICE custody.

On Monday, ICE Miami arrested Cuban citizen Dario Gonzalez, who had previously been convicted and sentenced to ten years in prison for lewd or lascivious acts with a minor, the White House official shared with the Caller. Also previously sentenced to ten years in prison but arrested on Monday was Silvester Kagwe Akola, a citizen of Kenya who was taken in by ICE Baltimore, the Caller learned. Akola had previously been convicted of robbery.

Also on Monday, ICE Houston arrested Mexican citizen Jorge Hernandez, who was previously convicted of sexual assault and sentenced to five years in prison, the official told the Caller.

The White House’s Twitter account announced other major arrests that came Monday in the raids, including the arrest of Ciro Teodoro-Rivera, a Mexican national and registered sex offender who was found in Cincinnati, Ohio. Teodoro-Rivera reentered the country illegally without being admitted, and had previous convictions for sexual imposition and aggravated assault, the tweet explains.

ICE Chicago arrested Mexican citizen Jose Miguel Perez-Perez, who had previously been convicted of sexual assault of a child and sentenced to 6 months in jail, according to the White House.

Trump campaigned on the promise to conduct the largest mass deportation operation in the country’s history. In the first few weeks of the Trump administration, daily ICE arrests have increased and deportation officers have taken enforcement actions in more areas across the country.

Under the Biden administration, there were roughly 8.5 million migrant encounters along the southern border, an era of unprecedented illegal immigration into the country. According to Customs and Border Protection data, Border Patrol agents made nearly 120,000 encounters specifically with criminal non-citizens during Biden’s time in office.
