Florentino Aerrera Chavez/Mexico/Burglary

Florentino Aerrera Chavez, a Mexican national, was arrested in Burnsville, Minnesota, following a burglary conviction tied to his unlawful presence in the United States. Public enforcement materials identify Chavez as having entered a property without permission and committing a theft offense, conduct that meets the legal definition of burglary under Minnesota law.​

Authorities targeted Chavez during an operation focused on locating foreign nationals with felony records in Minnesota communities. Officials have not released detailed information about the specific incident, such as the exact date of the break‑in, the type of property taken, or the sentence imposed, but list burglary as his primary conviction.

Chavez was taken into custody without incident and transferred to federal immigration detention. According to an agency spokesman, he will remain held pending removal proceedings, with his burglary conviction and illegal presence central to decisions about his deportation from the United States.
