Ruben Herrera/Mexico/Felony Larceny, Assault, DUI, Possession of Methamphetamine, Battery, Shoplifting

ICE New Orleans arrested Ruben Herrera, a citizen of Mexico who is unlawfully present in the United States. According to adjudicated and law enforcement records, his criminal history includes felony larceny, assault, driving under the influence, possession of methamphetamine, battery, and shoplifting. The mix of property, drug, and violent offenses shows repeated encounters with the criminal justice system across different incidents.

Felony larceny and shoplifting document unlawful taking of property, with the felony designation indicating higher value or aggravating factors beyond a simple theft. These cases are commonly supported by surveillance footage, witness statements, and recovery logs. Assault and battery reflect unlawful physical force against another person; prosecutors typically prove these charges through victim testimony, medical documentation, and officer observations captured in incident reports. The driving under the influence entry indicates operation of a vehicle while impaired, an offense that is often corroborated by field sobriety testing, chemical analysis, and dash or body camera recordings.

The possession of methamphetamine entry establishes unlawful control of a Schedule Two controlled substance. Case files frequently include laboratory confirmations and evidence of knowledge and control, such as where the substance was found and the presence of paraphernalia.

Following his apprehension, Herrera was booked into immigration detention. He will remain in custody while removal proceedings advance before an immigration judge. Standard steps include identity verification through biometrics, compilation of certified criminal records, and coordination of travel documentation with the receiving government. If a final order of removal is issued, transportation arrangements will be made in accordance with the applicable administrative procedures, and custody will be transferred upon arrival to the authorities of his country of citizenship.
