Javier Vazquez/Mexico/Aggravated Assault, Harassment, Stalking, Vandalism

ICE New Orleans arrested Javier Vazquez, a citizen of Mexico who is illegally present in the United States. Vazquez was taken into custody as part of ongoing enforcement efforts targeting illegal aliens with serious criminal records. At the time of his arrest, he had no legal status in the U.S. and no pending immigration relief.

Vazquez’s criminal history includes a conviction for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a violent felony offense. Records show that he used or threatened to use a weapon during a confrontation that resulted in serious charges. This level of violence, particularly with a deadly instrument, marks him as a significant public safety threat.

In addition to the assault conviction, Vazquez has been charged with harassment and stalking—both crimes that reflect persistent threatening behavior toward others. His actions reportedly involved repeated unwanted contact and intimidation. Furthermore, he has a conviction for vandalism, an offense that often accompanies other violent or retaliatory conduct.

Taken together, these crimes reveal a pattern of escalating, dangerous behavior. ICE officers arrested Vazquez without incident. He was processed and placed into removal proceedings and will remain in ICE custody pending a hearing before an immigration judge. Due to the severity and nature of his criminal background, Vazquez has been prioritized for deportation back to Mexico.
