Domingo Sanchez Hernandez/Mexico/DUI, Domestic Battery

Domingo Sanchez Hernandez is a 47‑year‑old criminal illegal alien from Mexico with a standing final order of removal from the United States. His record includes a conviction for driving under the influence (DUI) and multiple prior arrests for domestic battery, reflecting repeated involvement in offenses that pose risks to public safety.​

An immigration judge ordered Sanchez Hernandez removed from the United States on August 12, 2024, but he remained in the country for more than a year after that decision. During that time, he continued to reside in the Chicago area until Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrested him under Operation Midway Blitz, a targeted enforcement effort focused on criminal offenders with unresolved immigration cases.​

He is currently in ICE custody pending execution of his removal order, with officials indicating that his DUI conviction, history of domestic battery arrests, and long‑standing defiance of the removal order justified prioritizing his detention.
