Summary
August 4 set the chain in motion: Roanoke County police arrested Selvin Alfredo Ramos Perez for public intoxication, and ICE took custody after the county jail honored a detainer.
DHS said Perez, a Guatemalan national, will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings and described him as having entered the United States illegally three times.
His record listed by DHS includes two traffic offenses, two public-order crimes, fraud by false statement, impersonation, DUI and a hit-and-run arrest.
The agency said Perez accepted voluntary departure in 2011, was ordered removed again in 2015 and was physically removed by ICE in October 2017 before reentering once more.
DHS framed the case as part of broader enforcement under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, saying nearly 70% of ICE arrests involve migrants charged with or convicted of U.S. crimes.
