Elias Hernandez Montes/Mexico/Aggravated Assault, Third-Degree Assault, Driving Without a License

Elias Hernandez Montes, a citizen of Mexico, was arrested by ICE New Orleans during an enforcement action in the field office’s area of responsibility. Case records list prior arrests that include aggravated assault – family strongarm, third-degree assault, driving without a license, and failure to appear. The assault counts are recorded as separate incidents in the history, and the arrest list reflects entries drawn from local police reports reviewed by federal officers.

Following the arrest, Montes was transferred to federal custody. The matters listed are arrests, not convictions, and will be addressed in the appropriate criminal courts. Records also note a failure to appear in a prior case, as well as a driving offense associated with operating a vehicle without the required state license. Court outcomes for the listed arrests were not provided in the initial case summary.

Montes remains detained while immigration processing continues. Upcoming hearings will determine custody status, scheduling, and any additional actions required by the court. Further updates, if any, will be reflected in public dockets and agency records.
