Illegal immigrant with multiple DWI, theft convictions deported again: ICE
Maybe the fifth time's the charm.
A Mexican woman who has been previously deported from the U.S. four times and has six convictions each for driving while intoxicated and theft was returned to her country again on Thursday.
"I have served in law enforcement for more than 30 years and few things surprise me, but the level of disrespect that this criminal alien has shown for our system of laws and for the brave men and women who risk their lives every day to uphold those laws is shocking," said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Houston Field Office Director Bret Bradford.
Leticia Caballero Guadarrama, 53, was taken from the Montgomery Processing Center in Conroe, Texas, to the Laredo Port of Entry where she was released into Mexico, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said Friday.
Guadarrama entered the U.S. illegally at least six times before voluntarily returning to Mexico in 2002, ICE said.
In the years since, she was deported once in 2003, twice in 2009, once in 2010 and again on Thursday.
While in the U.S., Guadarrama racked up a lengthy criminal history, being convicted six times for DWI, as well as six more times for theft.
She also has two convictions for refusing to show identification to authorities.
"After repeatedly entering the country illegally and getting behind the wheel intoxicated, she has victimized hard-working Texans over and over again by stealing their money and property and then attempted to avoid accountability by refusing to provide law enforcement with identification after she was caught," Bradford said.
"By carelessly flaunting our system of laws, her actions endangered everyone in the community and have wasted significant taxpayer-funded government resources," he added.

Beloved Taco Chain Closes Doors Due to Ongoing ICE Raids in Los Angeles
A popular taco chain in the Los Angeles area has closed all but one of its locations until further notice due to the ongoing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids throughout Southern California. Angel's Tijuana Tacos on Thursday night posted a message to its more than 430,000 followers on Instagram to share that the company's lone brick-and-mortar taqueria in Anaheim -- some 32 minutes south of downtown Los Angeles -- is the only location keeping its doors open. The remaining 15 locations, many of which are taco trucks and taco stands with permanent setups throughout the greater Los Angeles area, will close until further notice. While the beloved taco chain did not directly tie the ongoing ICE raids as the reason behind the closures, the company alluded as much in the post's caption. "Anaheim is our only location open. ALL other locations will be closed until further notice. We hope to see you soon. Stay safe everyone. ❤️ #angelstijuanatacos #losangeles." The taco chain, popular in the Mexican community, received an outpouring of support in the comments section. One follower wrote, "Stay safe and we will miss you guys in the valley 🙌🏻." Another wrote, "breaking my heart this even has to happen, miss you guys in glassell," with someone else commenting. "Love you Angel's! I met my boyfriend in line at your Echo Park stand! Stay safe! ✊🏽👊🏽🇲🇽." The taco chain's name derives from its perfect emulation of Tijuana-style tacos made with handmade corn tortillas, loaded with guacamole and served on flimsy paper plates. The owner is a 31-year-old whose roots trace back to Guerrero, Mexico. He's famously known only as Taquero Angel, who only weeks ago opened the brick-and-mortar location in Anaheim. Angel opened his first taco stand in North Hollywood in 2018 and soon enough expanded to 15 stands throughout Los Angeles. Protests erupted last weekend and in the ensuing days amid masked ICE agents arresting more than 100 immigrants. The majority of the arrests came at their workplace or while they were running errands. Demonstrators protested the operation, and soon they clashed with law enforcement throughout Los Angeles, prompting President Donald Trump to deploy the national guard. A federal judge on Thursday night blocked the Trump administration from deploying members of the California National Guard in L.A. But within hours, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the ruling, allowing the Trump administration to maintain control of the California National Guard and continue to deploy them in L.A. The move to deploy the national guard -- coupled with the raids -- has been met with outrage. The Department of Homeland Security vows to continue with the raids amid mounting resistance, though Trump told reporters at the White House on Thursday that his administration plans to make changes to his aggressive crackdown in an effort to protect migrant farmers and hotel workers.

At least four migrants unaccounted for after riot breaks out at New Jersey ICE detention center: sources
At least four migrant detainees are unaccounted for after a riot broke out at a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Newark, where detainees took control of parts of the facility, according to sources and reports. Multiple migrant detainees are unaccounted for and possibly escaped from Delaney Hall Detention Facility after as many as 50 staged a revolt and pushed down a wall of a dormitory room inside the center, reported. The detainees were supposedly sent into a rage by their dissatisfaction over the quality and timeliness of the meals, the local outlet reported. Some detainees allegedly fashioned a rope out of bed sheets, which they used to descend from their third-floor dormitory, according to sources and a lawyer for a migrant detained at Delany Hall who spoke to the New Jersey publication. A manhunt is currently underway for the detainees who remain unaccounted for, according to sources. Several police agencies responded to emergency calls at the GEO Group-operated facility, which opened in May after the private prison company inked a $900 million deal with the Trump administration. Earlier Thursday, three-dozen people held a protest outside Delaney Hall, which has been an inflection point in the political debate over ICE detainments, with several House Democrats allegedly breaking into the facility last month. Garden State Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver was charged with assaulting an officer during the chaotic interaction, acting New Jersey US Attorney Alina Habba announced Monday. The Post has reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for comment.
