Cecilio Gutierrez/Mexico/DUI, Larceny

ICE New Orleans arrested Cecilio Gutierrez, a citizen of Mexico and an illegal alien residing in the United States, as part of focused enforcement operations targeting individuals with significant criminal records and ongoing disregard for U.S. law. Gutierrez, 42, was apprehended in Louisiana after officers confirmed his unlawful presence and documented his extensive criminal history, which spans a range of offenses from traffic violations to property crimes.

Gutierrez’s criminal record includes multiple convictions and arrests, beginning with driving under the influence (DUI), demonstrating his willingness to jeopardize public safety by operating a vehicle while impaired. In a related incident, he was charged with leaving the scene of an accident, underscoring a pattern of evading responsibility when confronted by law enforcement. Additional charges include driving without insurance and operating a vehicle without a valid driver’s license, revealing a persistent disregard for legal requirements intended to protect other motorists and pedestrians.

Beyond traffic-related offenses, Gutierrez also has a conviction for larceny, reflecting involvement in theft and property crimes. His record is further compounded by numerous traffic violations and at least one charge for failure to appear in court, indicating an ongoing unwillingness to comply with legal obligations.

ICE officials took Gutierrez into custody without incident. He is now detained and will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings before an immigration judge. His arrest underscores the agency’s commitment to addressing individuals who, through repeated unlawful conduct, pose risks to the safety and security of local communities.
