ICE arrests Tren de Aragua gang member
ICE officials say Jesus Alberto Escalona-Mujicas was arrested during a targeted, nationwide operation to “restore integrity to U.S. immigration laws and bolster public safety, national security and border security.”
Escalona-Mujicas was taken into ICE custody and taken to the Montgomery Processing Center in Conroe, Texas, pending his removal from the U.S.
The backstory:
According to ICE officials, Escalona-Mujicas illegally entered the U.S. on an unknown date and at an unknown location.
In April 2023, U.S. Border Patrol near Brownsville, TX took Escalona-Mujicas into custody. He was ordered to be removed from the United States on March 6, 2024, but he was able to hide from authorities before his removal could be carried out.
