Jairon Barahona/Guatemala/DUI, Possession of a Controlled Substance, Vandalism

ICE San Diego arrested Jairon Barahona, 38, a citizen of Guatemala, during targeted enforcement operations in Southern California. Court records confirm convictions for driving under the influence, possession of a narcotic or controlled substance, and vandalism. Barahona is also a documented gang member of the Vatos Logan Heights gang. After serving his criminal sentences, he was processed through intake and booked into ICE detention, where he remains pending removal proceedings before an immigration judge.

The DUI conviction shows repeated disregard for road safety, while the drug possession case documents contact with narcotics and controlled substances. The vandalism conviction adds property-related crime to his record, and his confirmed gang affiliation elevates the concern of continued criminal activity. Certified court documents have been incorporated into his immigration file to support the removal action.

ICE officers confirmed his identity through biometric checks, reviewed his prior immigration history, and compiled certified copies of his criminal records for presentation in immigration court. Barahona remains in custody as his removal case proceeds.
