Francisco Bautista-Salmeron/Mexico/DUI, Trespassing

Francisco Bautista-Salmeron, a 42-year-old citizen of Mexico, was arrested by Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Seattle in Kent, Washington. Bautista-Salmeron has previously been removed from the United States and was encountered again by ICE officers due to his continued unlawful presence and criminal history. His prior deportation highlights a pattern of repeated immigration violations that ICE has now acted upon to address.

Bautista-Salmeron’s criminal record includes multiple infractions that raised concerns with local and federal authorities. He has been convicted of trespassing, driving under the influence (DUI), and driving without a valid license. These offenses led to various interactions with law enforcement, culminating in his latest arrest by ICE officers as part of ongoing enforcement operations targeting individuals with prior removals and criminal conduct within the United States.

After being taken into ICE custody in Kent, he was processed and issued a notice of intent to reinstate his prior order of removal. Bautista-Salmeron is currently being held at a detention facility in Washington state, where he will remain pending removal proceedings. His case is being reviewed for final adjudication, and ICE officials have confirmed that he will not be released while those proceedings are underway.
