Hai Thai/Vietnam/Battery, Protective Order Violations, Vehicle Theft

ICE San Diego arrested Hai Thai, 48, a citizen of Vietnam, during enforcement operations in Southern California. Records confirm multiple convictions for battery, violations of protective and court orders, possession of a controlled substance, vehicle theft, and vandalism. He was taken into custody by enforcement officers, processed through intake, and placed in immigration detention pending removal proceedings before an immigration judge.

The battery convictions demonstrate repeated violent incidents, while the protective order violations show a pattern of disregarding legal restrictions meant to prevent further harm. Vehicle theft and vandalism reflect property crimes that often escalate into repeat police encounters, and the drug possession charge adds to the overall record of criminal conduct. These convictions, each supported by certified court documents, have been entered into his immigration file to be reviewed by the court.

During processing, officers confirmed Hai Thai’s identity through biometric verification and reviewed his immigration history for prior entries and removals. Certified judgments and sentencing records were assembled and submitted for inclusion in his administrative file. He remains in ICE custody while his immigration case proceeds on the docket.
