Yordan Ambrocio-Laynez/Guatemala/DUI, Criminal Mischief

Yordan Ambrocio-Laynez, 20, a citizen of Guatemala who is unlawfully present in the United States, was arrested in Kentucky by ICE officers as part of enforcement actions targeting criminal aliens who pose a threat to community safety. Ambrocio-Laynez’s record reflects a series of criminal offenses, demonstrating a troubling pattern of illegal conduct across multiple areas of criminal law.

Among his convictions is criminal mischief, a charge often associated with property damage, vandalism, or reckless actions causing loss or harm to others. In addition, Ambrocio-Laynez was convicted of unlawful transaction with a minor, a serious offense indicating inappropriate or illegal involvement with someone underage, which raises significant public safety concerns and questions about his conduct toward vulnerable individuals.

Further complicating his record are various traffic offenses, which, while sometimes seen as minor, can collectively signal a disregard for lawful behavior and safe operation of vehicles. His history also includes a conviction for driving under the influence (DUI), an offense that endangers both pedestrians and other drivers and often carries severe legal penalties due to the risk it poses to public safety.

Following his arrest, Ambrocio-Laynez has been placed into ICE custody, where he will remain pending removal proceedings before an immigration judge. His multiple convictions highlight the types of criminal behavior ICE prioritizes for enforcement action, reflecting the agency’s focus on removing individuals whose actions threaten the well-being of the communities where they reside.
