Gavin Lee Henshall/Canada/Domestic Violence, Child Cruelty, Harassment, DUIs

Gavin Lee Henshall, a 53-year-old citizen of Canada, was arrested by ICE as part of a coordinated federal law enforcement operation. Henshall is a criminal alien with an extensive history of arrests and convictions in both California and Washington. His criminal record includes charges and convictions for domestic violence, willful cruelty to a child, harassment, and multiple DUIs.

Authorities confirmed that Henshall had been living in the United States in violation of immigration law. His arrest marks the latest step in a broader enforcement initiative targeting foreign nationals with violent or repeated criminal conduct. Given the severity of his offenses—especially those involving endangerment of a child and domestic abuse—ICE officers acted swiftly to detain Henshall pending removal proceedings.

At the time of his arrest, Henshall was not in legal immigration status, and he has since been placed in ICE custody. Federal immigration officers have confirmed that he will remain detained as his case moves through the immigration court system. His pattern of criminal behavior over multiple jurisdictions factored into the decision to prioritize his arrest.
