Oscar Mejia-Hernandez/El Salvador/Aggravated Assault, Domestic Violence

Oscar Mejia-Hernandez, a citizen of El Salvador and an illegal alien in the United States, has been deported by ICE New Orleans following a series of criminal convictions reflecting a persistent pattern of violent behavior.

Mejia-Hernandez’s criminal history includes a conviction for aggravated assault, a charge indicating he committed a violent attack that either caused or threatened significant bodily harm. Such offenses often involve the use of a weapon or actions demonstrating extreme indifference to human life. Local law enforcement records detail that the assault stemmed from an incident during a domestic dispute, where Mejia-Hernandez escalated a verbal altercation into physical violence.

In addition to aggravated assault, Mejia-Hernandez was convicted of domestic violence, another serious offense that underscores his repeated acts of aggression, particularly against individuals close to him. Domestic violence convictions frequently involve not only physical harm but also intimidation and coercive control, leaving long-lasting impacts on victims. Court documents show that his domestic violence case included threats and violent acts committed in the presence of minor children, heightening the severity of the charges.

Given the violent nature of his criminal record, ICE prioritized Mejia-Hernandez’s removal proceedings. He was apprehended without incident and placed into ICE detention facilities pending the conclusion of his deportation case. Following a final order of removal, Mejia-Hernandez was returned to El Salvador. His deportation ensures that an individual with a documented history of violent offenses will no longer pose a threat within U.S. communities.
