Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Federal immigration authorities carried out a series of enforcement operations across the United States over the Memorial Day weekend, resulting in multiple arrests. A White House release named seven individuals detained, listing serious charges and convictions, saying: "Meet a few of the sick criminal illegal immigrants arrested just over the past weekend." Newsweek has contacted the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for comment. Why It Matters President Donald Trump's administration is enacting plans to remove millions of immigrants without legal status as part of a hard-line mass deportation policy. The White House has said that anyone living in the country illegally is a "criminal." A New York Times/Ipsos poll carried out from January 2 to 10 found that 55 percent of voters strongly or somewhat supported such plans. Eighty-eight percent supported "deporting immigrants who are here illegally and have criminal records." Both Democrats and Republicans agreed that the country's immigration system was broken. However there are examples of multiple reported wrongful arrests. What To Know The latest arrests took place on Saturday and were carried out by officers from the agency's Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) units based in Boston, Denver, Houston, Newark, New York City, Salt Lake City, and San Francisco, according to Fox News Digital. ERO, a division of ICE, is responsible for the detention and removal of undocumented immigrants, managing detention facilities, conducting targeted enforcement actions in the interior, especially against individuals with serious criminal records, and taking custody of those apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol agents at the border. Jose Antonio Deras, 45, a citizen of El Salvador was arrested by ERO Denver. According to the list released by the White House. Deras is in the U.S. without legal authorization and was denied Temporary Protected Status in 2008. He was ordered to be deported by an immigration judge in 2009 and has multiple traffic convictions, as well as pending charges for felony sexual assault on a child. Misael Delgado-Carlos, 35, of Mexico was apprehended by ERO Houston. She had previously been removed from the U.S. and later entered illegally. Delgado-Carlos also has a criminal conviction for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in Harris County. She received a four-year deferred adjudication sentence. Mexican national Eduardo Sanchez-Hernandez, 32, was arrested by ERO Newark with assistance from Homeland Security Investigations Newark. ICE said Sanchez-Hernandez entered the United States illegally and has a criminal history that includes an arrest and pending charges related to the sexual assault of a victim under the age of 13 and endangering through sexual conduct with a minor, according to Fox's report. Litzy Janel Saavedra, 26, was arrested by ERO New York City. Saavedra was reportedly in the country illegally and has a prior criminal history, including a 2022 conviction for third-degree felony rape in Yonkers. ERO Salt Lake City picked up Jose Barrios-Bello, 35, a citizen of Mexico. Barrios-Bello was previously deported and reentered without authorization. He was convicted of distributing methamphetamine and received a 15-year prison sentence. ERO Boston apprehended Kevin Estuarde Hernandez, 18, a Guatemalan national. Hernandez, a suspected 18th Street gang member, was in the U.S. illegally. Fox News reported that police in Everett, Massachusetts, say Hernandez was involved in a shooting between gang members from 18th Street and the notorious crime syndicate MS-13. The 18th Street Gang, also known as Barrio 18, is one of the most violent street gangs in the world. Originally formed in Los Angeles, in the 1960s, its name comes from 18th Street in the Rampart District of Los Angeles, where the gang was originally based. ERO San Francisco arrested, Carlos Torres Valdovinos, 46, a Mexican citizen. He unlawfully entered the country and has a prior criminal record, including a felony conviction in Stanislaus County, California, for oral copulation of a minor, for which he received a 12-year prison sentence. ICE told Fox that Torres Valdovinos was deported to Mexico on Sunday. The White House release of the serious criminals arrested at the weekend did not disclose the total number of individuals detained during the period. Some innocent people have been affected by recent raids. While many of those arrested have criminal histories, this aggressive enforcement approach has also been criticized due to multiple reported wrongful arrests. Newsweek has extensively documented cases such as a legal victory following wrongful deportations, the detention of a U.S. citizen and Trump supporter caused by flawed identification processes, and the mistaken detention of Merwil Gutierrez, a Salvadoran teenager. Newsweek previously reported how in April, the Supreme Court instructed the Trump administration to "facilitate" the return to the U.S. from El Salvador of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who ICE said was deported due to an "administrative error." White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded that Garcia would "never live in the United States of America again." What Happens Next The remaining individuals will remain in custody as they await removal proceedings.
