Edgar Rivera-Salinas/Mexico/Larceny, Theft, Marijuana Possession

by G. George | November 24, 2025

Edgar Rivera‑Salinas is a 38‑year‑old criminal illegal alien from Mexico who was arrested in Florida during a large‑scale immigration enforcement operation targeting high‑risk offenders. ICE reports that Rivera‑Salinas had previously been deported from the United States before returning and being encountered again in this weeklong initiative across central Florida.​

According to federal summaries, Rivera‑Salinas’s criminal history includes larceny and theft offenses, reflecting involvement in property crimes against victims and businesses. He also has a record of marijuana possession, adding a drug‑related offense to his list of documented criminal conduct.​

Because he reentered the country after a prior removal and accumulated additional criminal charges, Rivera‑Salinas has been classified as one of the “worst of the worst” targets prioritized in this operation. He is now in ICE custody pending removal proceedings, with officials emphasizing that his case illustrates the focus on repeat immigration violators who also have significant criminal records.
