Ernesto Galvez/Nicaragua/Voluntary Manslaughter, Gang Association

ICE San Diego arrested Ernesto Galvez, 42, a citizen of Nicaragua, during enforcement operations in Southern California. Records confirm a conviction for voluntary manslaughter and document his affiliation with the 15th Avenue Norteños gang. He was taken into custody without incident, processed through intake, and placed in immigration detention. Galvez will remain in custody while immigration proceedings are scheduled before an immigration judge.

The manslaughter conviction reflects prior involvement in a violent crime that resulted in the death of another person. His identified association with a violent street gang further underscores a sustained pattern of criminal activity that has brought him into repeated contact with law enforcement. These records, verified and certified, have been added to his immigration file for court review.

During processing, ICE officers confirmed his identity through biometric checks, reviewed his immigration history, and compiled the judgment and gang documentation into his administrative case file. He remains detained as immigration hearings are prepared and will stay in custody until a final determination is reached.
