Sergio Medina-Nunez/Mexico/Felony Drug Possession, Aggravated Assault, Obstructing Police

ICE New Orleans arrested Sergio Medina-Nunez, a citizen and national of Mexico, on July 11, 2025, following his identification as a removable noncitizen based on multiple criminal convictions in the United States. According to ICE records, Medina-Nunez has been convicted of felony drug possession, an offense involving the unlawful possession of controlled substances in quantities or circumstances severe enough to qualify as a felony. Drug possession at the felony level typically reflects prior offenses, possession of dangerous substances, or intent to distribute, and is considered a significant immigration violation under U.S. law.

In addition to the drug offense, Medina-Nunez has also been convicted of aggravated assault, a violent crime involving the intentional infliction—or attempted infliction—of serious bodily harm, often with the use or threat of a weapon. Aggravated assault is classified as a crime of violence and can be considered an aggravated felony under immigration law, triggering mandatory detention and removal proceedings.

Medina-Nunez’s criminal history also includes obstructing police, an offense involving interference with law enforcement officers in the performance of their duties. This may include resisting arrest, providing false information, or physically impeding officers. While generally considered a lesser offense than the others listed, obstruction charges are viewed seriously when combined with a broader criminal record.

ICE has not released additional details about the specific circumstances, locations, or timing of Medina-Nunez’s convictions. As of the latest report, he remains in ICE custody pending further immigration proceedings to determine his future status in the United States.
