Erick Ernesto Banos-Santos/El Salvador/Disorderly Conduct, Refusal to Submit to Arrest

Erick Ernesto Banos-Santos, a citizen of El Salvador and an illegal alien in the United States, was arrested by ICE New Orleans officers as part of focused enforcement efforts aimed at removing individuals who pose significant threats to national security and public safety. Banos-Santos’s arrest follows a series of concerning criminal behaviors and security concerns that have placed him on federal authorities’ radar.

Banos-Santos has a documented criminal history that includes arrests for refusal to submit to arrest and disorderly conduct involving fighting. These offenses highlight his disregard for lawful authority and his potential for violence in public spaces. While such charges might appear relatively minor individually, they raise serious concerns when combined with his broader profile.

Most critically, Banos-Santos has been designated as a Known or Suspected Terrorist, a status that elevates the urgency of his detention and removal. Federal law enforcement agencies closely monitor individuals in this category due to possible connections to extremist activities or networks. His presence in the United States without legal status compounds the risks associated with his profile.

Banos-Santos is currently detained in ICE custody and will remain there pending further immigration proceedings. His case has been prioritized for enforcement actions due to both his criminal background and his classification as a security threat. Authorities are committed to ensuring individuals like Banos-Santos do not endanger American communities.
