Le Son Tran/Vietnam/Murder, Robbery

by G. George | July 23, 2025

ICE Los Angeles arrested Le Son Tran, a 47-year-old citizen and national of Vietnam, on July 12, 2025, following his identification as a removable noncitizen due to multiple arrests for serious criminal offenses and his affiliation with a gang in the United States. According to ICE records, Tran has been arrested for murder, an offense involving the unlawful killing of another person with malice aforethought. Murder is classified as one of the most severe violent felonies under both criminal and immigration law, carrying substantial legal penalties and resulting in mandatory removal proceedings for noncitizens.

In addition to murder, Tran has been arrested for robbery, a crime involving the use of force, intimidation, or threats to unlawfully take property from another individual. Robbery is also regarded as a violent felony and a crime of moral turpitude under immigration law, contributing significantly to a noncitizen’s removability from the United States.

Tran’s criminal history further includes arrest for possession of narcotics with intent to sell, indicating alleged involvement in drug trafficking activities. Offenses of this nature are prosecuted vigorously due to their connections to organized criminal networks and the substantial harm posed to communities. Drug trafficking crimes are classified as aggravated felonies under U.S. immigration law and typically result in mandatory detention and removal for noncitizens.

ICE has not released additional details regarding the specific circumstances of Tran’s arrests, the locations of his alleged criminal activities, or any convictions related to these charges. As of the latest report, Tran remains in ICE custody pending further immigration proceedings to determine his future status in the United States.
