ICE Los Angeles arrested Jaime Abraham Arredondo Hernandez, a 43-year-old citizen and national of Mexico, on July 9, 2025, following his identification as a removable noncitizen due to multiple criminal convictions in the United States. According to ICE records, Arredondo Hernandez has been convicted of manufacturing and possessing weapons, offenses that involve creating, assembling, or unlawfully possessing firearms or other deadly weapons. Crimes related to weapons manufacturing and possession are regarded as serious offenses under both criminal and immigration law due to their potential links to violent crime, organized criminal activity, and threats to public safety. Convictions of this nature can result in aggravated felony classifications under immigration statutes, triggering mandatory detention and removal proceedings for noncitizens.

In addition to weapons-related offenses, Arredondo Hernandez has been convicted of possession of controlled substances, reflecting his involvement with drugs regulated under federal and state laws. Drug possession offenses, even for personal use, are considered significant under U.S. immigration law and can be classified as crimes involving moral turpitude, depending on the type and quantity of the substance involved. Such convictions often carry immigration consequences, including potential ineligibility for relief from removal and heightened enforcement priorities.

ICE has not released further details regarding the specific circumstances of Arredondo Hernandez’s arrests, the types of weapons or controlled substances involved, or any additional criminal history beyond those listed. As of the latest report, Arredondo Hernandez remains in ICE custody pending further immigration proceedings to determine his future status in the United States.
