Jerry Nunez-Medina/Honduras/Domestic Battery, DWI

ICE New Orleans arrested Jerry Nunez-Medina, a citizen and national of Honduras, on July 11, 2025, following his identification as a removable noncitizen based on a criminal history involving violent and public safety-related offenses. According to ICE records, Nunez-Medina has been convicted of domestic battery, an offense involving the use of force or violence against a spouse, partner, or household member. Domestic battery is classified as a crime of moral turpitude under U.S. immigration law and is considered a serious offense due to the risk of harm to vulnerable individuals. Such convictions often carry significant legal consequences, including protective orders, jail time, and removal proceedings for noncitizens.

In addition to domestic battery, Nunez-Medina has also been convicted of driving while intoxicated (DWI), a charge involving the operation of a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs. DWI offenses are treated as threats to public safety and may carry escalating penalties for repeat violations or when accompanied by other criminal conduct. Although DWI is not always classified as a deportable offense on its own, it is often considered alongside other convictions when determining immigration enforcement priorities.

ICE has not released additional information regarding the locations of Nunez-Medina’s offenses, the dates of his convictions, or whether he has any prior immigration violations. As of the latest report, Nunez-Medina remains in ICE custody pending further immigration proceedings to determine his future status in the United States.
