Cesar Ramirez Zamudio/Mexico/Aggravated Assault, Amphetamine Possession

ICE New Orleans arrested Cesar Ramirez Zamudio, a citizen of Mexico who is unlawfully present in the United States, during targeted enforcement actions focusing on individuals with violent criminal records and ongoing immigration violations. Ramirez Zamudio, 39, was taken into custody in Louisiana after officers confirmed his illegal status and reviewed his significant criminal history, which includes convictions for both violent and drug-related offenses.

Ramirez Zamudio’s criminal background features a conviction for aggravated assault, a serious crime involving the threat or use of force against another person that often entails the presence of a weapon or intent to cause significant bodily harm. Such a conviction underscores the danger he poses to public safety and his willingness to resort to violence to resolve disputes or commit further crimes.

In addition to his violent conduct, Ramirez Zamudio has been convicted of possession of amphetamines. This drug offense signals involvement in illegal substances that contribute to broader community health and safety concerns, particularly given the highly addictive and damaging nature of amphetamines. His engagement in both violent behavior and narcotics offenses paints a concerning picture of repeated criminal activity and disregard for U.S. law.

ICE officers apprehended Ramirez Zamudio without incident. He is now in ICE custody and will remain detained pending removal proceedings before an immigration judge. His case highlights the agency’s continued focus on removing criminal aliens who pose threats to public safety through violent actions and involvement in illegal drug activity.
