Carlos Ponce-Padilla/Honduras/Sexual Assault

ICE San Antonio arrested Carlos Ponce-Padilla, 35, a citizen of Honduras, during enforcement operations in Texas. Records confirm he was convicted of sexual assault and sentenced to four years in prison. After serving his sentence, he was transferred into ICE custody and booked into immigration detention. Ponce-Padilla now awaits removal to Honduras under a final order of deportation.

The sexual assault conviction reflects involvement in a violent offense that targeted a vulnerable victim. Sentencing records confirm the four-year prison term, with certified documentation from the court included in his immigration file. This conviction now forms the basis of his aggravated felon classification, which carries direct immigration consequences and expedited removal procedures under federal law.

During processing, ICE officers confirmed Ponce-Padilla’s identity through biometric checks, reviewed his prior immigration history, and prepared certified copies of his conviction for presentation in court. With his case finalized, travel arrangements have been scheduled, and he will be returned to Honduran authorities.
