Marco Antonio Hernandez-Ramirez/Mexico/Aggravated Assault, DUI, Illegal Possession of a Firearm

ICE New Orleans arrested Marco Antonio Hernandez-Ramirez, a citizen and national of Mexico, on July 11, 2025, following his identification as a removable noncitizen due to multiple criminal convictions in the United States. According to ICE records, Hernandez-Ramirez has a criminal history that includes aggravated assault, a violent offense involving the intentional infliction or attempted infliction of serious bodily injury, often with the use or threat of a weapon. Aggravated assault is classified as a crime of violence and can be considered an aggravated felony under U.S. immigration law, leading to mandatory detention and removal proceedings.

He has also been convicted of illegal possession of a firearm, an offense involving the unlawful ownership or control of a weapon by someone prohibited from doing so under federal or state law. Firearm offenses are regarded as serious under immigration law due to their potential link to broader criminal activity.

In addition, Hernandez-Ramirez has convictions for driving under the influence (DUI), leaving the scene of an accident, and violating the terms of his probation. DUI is a significant public safety offense and can lead to enhanced penalties when coupled with other convictions. Leaving the scene of an accident reflects a failure to provide aid or report information after a collision, and probation violations indicate noncompliance with court-ordered supervision terms.

ICE has not released further details regarding the jurisdictions or timelines of these offenses. As of the latest report, Hernandez-Ramirez remains in ICE custody pending further immigration proceedings to determine his future status in the United States.
