ICE arrests six illegal migrants in Houston who had been convicted for a combined 48 crimes

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in Houston on Tuesday announced the arrests of six illegal migrants who had been convicted of a total of 48 crimes, and who entered the United States illegally at least 42 times altogether.

Oscar Moran Valle, a 43-year-old illegal migrant from Mexico and documented Paisas gang member, had the most convictions of the group. He entered the country illegally at least 12 times and was convicted of 11 criminal offenses. 

Illegal Honduran migrant Alex Salomon Reyes-Chavez, 46, recorded the lowest number of illegal entries, having illegally entered the United States just five times, but was convicted of seven crimes, per ICE.

Criminal convictions among the men include cocaine trafficking, grand theft auto, assault, domestic violence and multiple driving while intoxicated.

“For the past 20 years, these six violent criminal aliens have brazenly violated our nation’s immigration and criminal laws, wreaking havoc in our local communities and leaving countless victims in their wake,” ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Houston acting Field Office Director Gabriel Martinez said in a statement. 

“Thanks to the current administration’s focus on securing the border and making immigration enforcement a priority, they have been removed from the local community and will no longer be able to prey on innocent Americans," he added.

Two of the other men also came from Honduras, one other came from Mexico and the last came from Vietnam.
