Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested a Salvadoran national in Arlington, Virginia who was previously deported three times, ratcheting up a violent criminal record along the way.
According to The Daily Wire, Carlos Ramirez-Guzman was deported from the United States by ICE in 2006, 2014, and again in 2016. He is at this time in immigration detention.
Besides his ICE arrest on Oct. 17, Ramirez-Guzman was charged with “aggravated assault with a deadly weapon on a law enforcement officer, domestic battery, exhibition of a dangerous weapon, resisting, obstructing, or opposing a law enforcement officer,” according to a Homeland Security press release.
“Carlos Ramirez-Guzman racked up an extensive criminal history over the last 21 years he has spent ignoring America’s laws,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said. “Not only has this man been removed from our country on THREE previous occasions, but he also has a violent criminal history of assault with a deadly weapon on a law enforcement officer, domestic battery, and resisting arrest.”

“Under President Trump and Secretary Noem this criminal illegal alien’s crime spree has come to an end. GOOD RIDDANCE, you are not welcome in this country,” McLaughlin added.
Next Tuesday, Virginia will have elections, which include its gubernatorial race. Immigration is one of the current hot topics. Since the second Trump administration, Northern Virginia has become a hotbed for ICE detentions. The counties include Fairfax and Arlington.
Helping with ICE arrests include an Executive Order that Governor Glenn Youngkin, a Republican, signed that permitted local and state authorities to help with federal operations.
The Virginia Mercury reported in August that former Rep. Abigail Spanberger, the Democratic nominee, would “rescind” Youngkin’s aforementioned executive order if she is elected.
“Our borders are a front door, and we have to know who’s coming into the country. Do you mean us good or do you mean us ill? Who are you? Are you running from a murder charge, or are you running to something like liberty, like freedom?” Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, who’s the Republican nominee for governor, said on Jillian Michaels’ “Keeping It Real” podcast last week. Earle-Sears legally immigrated to the United States from Jamaica.
