Elmer Breve-Sanchez/Honduras/Conspiracy to Transport Illegal Aliens

ICE San Antonio took custody of Elmer Breve-Sanchez, a 25-year-old citizen and national of Honduras, on July 11, 2025, following his release from local jail after serving a sentence for a federal immigration-related offense. According to ICE records, Breve-Sanchez was convicted of conspiracy to transport illegal aliens within the United States, a crime involving the coordination or facilitation of unauthorized travel for noncitizens who have no lawful status.

Conspiracy to transport illegal aliens is a felony under federal law and is frequently prosecuted in cases where individuals organize or participate in operations that move noncitizens across state lines or away from border areas. These offenses often involve the use of vehicles, housing arrangements, or payment structures intended to avoid detection by immigration authorities. Convictions for this offense typically result in significant prison sentences and carry serious immigration consequences for noncitizens involved, including removal proceedings and future bars to lawful reentry.

ICE has not released further details regarding Breve-Sanchez’s activities prior to his arrest, the number of individuals involved in the smuggling attempt, or whether he has any additional criminal history beyond this conviction. As of the latest report, Breve-Sanchez remains in ICE custody pending his removal to Honduras.
