Jose Ignacio Chavez-Bahena/Mexico/Felony Assault, DUI, Domestic Violence

ICE San Antonio officers arrested 49-year-old Mexican national Jose Ignacio Chavez-Bahena after his latest domestic violence arrest, identifying him as a high-priority public safety threat based on his history of felony assault and multiple DUI convictions.

His record reflects a sustained pattern of violent behavior and impaired driving, leading immigration authorities to move quickly once he was back in local custody.

After his apprehension, officials accelerated his immigration case, processed him through detention, and deported him to Mexico, barring him from legally reentering the United States.

His removal is being cited by ICE as an example of its focus on criminal aliens with dangerous histories, carried out in coordination with local law enforcement to protect communities from repeat offenders.
