ICE says it deported 174 criminal migrants from Texas, including a man with 39 illegal entries

ICE Houston said Thursday that those arrested included two convicted on homicide-related charges, and Julian Estrada-Garcia, an alien from Mexico who had illegally entered the U.S. 39 times.

The group accounted for 610 criminal convictions with four convictions for rape or sexual assault and five convictions for child sex offenses. 

Other serious offenses included 146 convictions for driving while intoxicated, 72 convictions for aggravated assault or assault, while other offenses included eight hit and runs, human smuggling convictions and drug trafficking.

"Each day they put their lives on the line to apprehend and remove dangerous criminal aliens, transnational gang members and foreign fugitives who have illegally entered the U.S. and are preying on innocent, hardworking Texans," Bradford said. 

"Fueled by our unwavering commitment to protect the public from harm, and united in our determination to restore integrity to our nation's system of laws, ICE will continue to aggressively pursue and remove anyone who threatens the safety of our communities and the national security of our country." 

The 36-year-old Mexican national who entered the U.S. 39 times has been convicted of illegal entry four times and once for DWI, dangerous drugs and fraud.

Meanwhile, a 50-year-old Florencia 13 gang member who had been deported eight times was also booted from the country. He has convictions for domestic violence and drug possession, among other serious crimes.

Two other now-deported Mexican nationals had been removed seven times and racked up 11 DWI convictions between them.

The large totals mean the president is on course to fulfill a key campaign promise of carrying out the largest domestic deportation operation in American history.
