U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducted a series of arrests on August 9 and 10, 2025, targeting individuals described as high-priority criminal illegal aliens. The operation resulted in the detention of people with convictions for serious offenses including rape, hit-and-run, domestic assault, and attempted homicide.
“While Americans were enjoying their weekend, ICE was hard at work arresting the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens that pose significant public safety threats,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “Some of the dirtbags arrested over the weekend include rapists, attempted murderers, and violent abusers. If you are a patriotic American and are tired of seeing your community pillaged by illegal alien crime, apply to join ICE law enforcement and help us remove gang members, pedophiles, terrorists, murderers, and more violent thugs. JOIN.ICE.GOV.”
Among those arrested were Zavier Elizandro Madrid-Alvarado from Honduras for assault in Houston; Angel Manuel Marquez-Guachichulca from Ecuador for rape in Dayton; Johan Orozco-Henao from Colombia for aggravated assault in Salt Lake City; Pablo Rogel-Ortiz from Mexico for burglary in Austin; Adrian Flores-Jimenez from Mexico for hit-and-run causing injury in Butte; Zi Ming Lu from China for forging trademarks in Gwinnett County; Maynor Garcia-Romero from Honduras for domestic assault in Tulsa; Jose Manuel Lopez-Arroyo from Mexico for firearm discharge in San Fernando; Reynaldo Ventura-Cruz from Mexico with multiple DUI convictions in Hillsborough County; and Margarito Carmona-Ramos from Mexico for attempted homicide and aggravated battery in Cook County.
DHS is encouraging individuals interested in federal law enforcement careers to consider applying to ICE.
