Jefry Gonzalez Sorto/Honduras/Assault

Honduran national Jefry Gonzalez Sorto, a criminal illegal alien, was taken into custody out of the state prison in Rush City, Minnesota, after serving time on a serious assault case that left a victim with great bodily harm. Minnesota jail and prison records list Gonzalez Sorto, 23, on a first-degree assault charge before his July 7, 2025, release from the Rush City facility, at which point he was transferred directly to federal agents rather than being returned to the community.

According to state corrections disclosures, Gonzalez Sorto’s handoff to federal custody occurred inside the secure prison setting, where ICE had coordinated to assume control based on his immigration status and violent assault conviction. His case is now proceeding in the federal system, where officials are weighing the underlying assault and his lack of lawful status as they determine next steps in detention and potential removal from the United States.
