Juan Carlos Perez-Deleon/Guatemala/Domestic Violence, Child Neglect, DWI

Officers with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Washington, D.C., arrested Juan Carlos Perez-Deleon, a criminal alien from Guatemala, during a recent enforcement operation. Perez-Deleon was targeted due to a criminal history spanning multiple states. His record includes charges for domestic violence and child neglect in Benton, Arkansas, as well as a conviction for driving while intoxicated (DWI) in Fairfax, Virginia.

An ICE spokesman confirmed the arrest, noting that the agency focuses on individuals whose criminal behavior demonstrates a disregard for family safety and public welfare. Authorities emphasized that offenses involving violence within the home and neglect of minors are priority grounds for enforcement action.

Perez-Deleon is currently in federal custody while immigration proceedings move forward. This arrest highlights ICE’s ability to track offenders across state lines to ensure they face consequences for their actions. The agency continues to locate and remove noncitizens who threaten community safety through criminal conduct.
