Luis Aguilera-Pericaguan/Venezuela/Assault

Luis Aguilera-Pericaguan, 33, a citizen of Venezuela, was arrested by ICE Denver and placed into immigration custody due to his criminal history and unlawful presence in the United States. Aguilera-Pericaguan has been arrested multiple times by local law enforcement in Colorado. His record includes charges for simple assault involving domestic violence, an offense taken seriously by both local and federal authorities due to the risks posed to victims and communities. In addition, he has been charged with violating a court order, indicating a failure to comply with legal directives issued by a judge—often associated with restraining orders or conditions stemming from domestic-related offenses.

Following his most recent encounter with local law enforcement, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) took Aguilera-Pericaguan into custody to initiate immigration proceedings. He does not possess legal immigration status or authorization to remain in the United States. His prior arrests and pattern of disregard for court-imposed restrictions were considered in the decision to detain him and initiate removal efforts.

Aguilera-Pericaguan is currently being held without bond and awaits a hearing before an immigration judge. That proceeding will determine whether he will be deported from the United States based on his unlawful presence and criminal history.
