Roberto Carrizales-Fuentes/Mexico/Child Cruelty, DUI

Roberto Carrizales-Fuentes, a citizen of Mexico and an illegal alien in the United States, was arrested by ICE New Orleans officers during targeted enforcement actions focused on individuals with serious criminal convictions. Carrizales-Fuentes has a criminal history that includes a conviction for cruelty toward a child and a separate conviction for driving under the influence (DUI). These offenses triggered enforcement priorities for removal under federal immigration law.

The cruelty to a child charge involved behavior that posed direct harm and endangerment to a minor. Details in law enforcement records indicated that the child was subjected to treatment that led to physical or emotional trauma, raising the severity of the case. The DUI conviction further compounded the threat posed by Carrizales-Fuentes, demonstrating reckless conduct with disregard for public safety.

Carrizales-Fuentes had no lawful immigration status at the time of his arrest and had not initiated any process to regularize his presence in the United States. ICE officers located and arrested him without incident. Following his apprehension, officials verified his immigration status and criminal history, making him subject to removal proceedings.

He will remain in ICE custody pending the outcome of his case before an immigration judge. Due to the violent and endangering nature of his convictions, Carrizales-Fuentes is ineligible for release and is being processed for removal in accordance with federal law.
