Jose Manuel Perez-Gomez/Mexico/Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Battery

ICE Los Angeles arrested Jose Manuel Perez-Gomez, a 38-year-old citizen and national of Mexico, on July 11, 2025, following his identification as a removable noncitizen due to multiple serious criminal convictions in the United States. According to ICE records, Perez-Gomez has been convicted of assault with a deadly weapon, an offense involving the use or threat of use of an object capable of inflicting significant bodily injury or death. Assault with a deadly weapon is classified as a violent felony under both criminal and immigration law and carries substantial legal penalties, including potential prison sentences and mandatory removal proceedings for noncitizens.

In addition to this violent offense, Perez-Gomez has been convicted of battery, a crime involving unlawful physical contact or force against another person. Battery can vary in severity, but it is generally considered a crime of moral turpitude that can adversely affect a noncitizen’s immigration status.

Perez-Gomez’s criminal history also includes a conviction for willful cruelty to a child, an offense indicating acts that place a child in circumstances likely to cause great bodily harm or suffering. Crimes involving harm or endangerment to children are viewed as particularly egregious under both criminal statutes and immigration law, often resulting in severe consequences such as mandatory detention and removal from the United States.

ICE has not released further details regarding the circumstances of Perez-Gomez’s offenses, the locations where they occurred, or any additional criminal history beyond those listed. As of the latest report, Perez-Gomez remains in ICE custody pending further immigration proceedings to determine his future status in the United States.
