Eulogio Sapon-Marroquin/Guatemala/DUI

Eulogio Sapon-Marroquin, a 62-year-old citizen of Guatemala and an illegal alien in the United States, was arrested and subsequently deported by ICE officers following targeted enforcement operations focusing on individuals with criminal records. Sapon-Marroquin’s removal underscores the agency’s ongoing focus on locating and removing noncitizens whose conduct demonstrates a disregard for U.S. laws and public safety.

Sapon-Marroquin’s criminal history includes two convictions for driving under the influence (DUI), an offense that carries significant risks to both drivers and the general public. DUI offenses are taken seriously under immigration law, especially when committed multiple times, as they reflect a pattern of unlawful and dangerous behavior that endangers lives on American roadways. Repeat offenders like Sapon-Marroquin face increased scrutiny during immigration enforcement actions, as these convictions elevate their priority for removal from the country.

Prior to his deportation, Sapon-Marroquin had no lawful status to remain in the United States. ICE officers arrested him as part of operations designed to identify, detain, and remove individuals who have violated both immigration laws and criminal statutes. After his arrest, he was detained pending removal proceedings. Upon completion of the legal process, he was deported to Guatemala without incident.

Sapon-Marroquin’s case illustrates the consequences facing illegal aliens who commit crimes while unlawfully present in the United States. ICE continues to conduct operations to ensure that individuals with criminal records who pose risks to public safety are held accountable and removed from the country in accordance with U.S. law.
