Overview
- DHS says ICE arrested Carlos Ramirez-Guzman on Oct. 17 in Arlington, Virginia.
- Officials report he was deported in 2006, 2014 and 2016 and re-entered the U.S. at an unknown time and place.
- He faces illegal reentry and multiple alleged offenses, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon on a law enforcement officer, domestic battery, exhibition of a dangerous weapon, resisting or obstructing an officer, and disorderly conduct.
- ICE says he remains in federal custody pending removal, and the agency credited assistance from the FBI and the State Department’s Diplomatic Security Service.
- DHS’s Tricia McLaughlin described a roughly 21‑year criminal history in a statement, as the arrest factors into campaign messaging over Virginia’s policy on cooperation with ICE.
