U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in San Antonio have arrested a Mexican national with a history of multiple criminal convictions, including driving under the influence and fraud.
Manuel Cambron-Sanchez, a citizen of Mexico unlawfully present in the United States, was taken into ICE custody following a targeted enforcement action by Enforcement and Removal Operations San Antonio. According to ICE, Cambron-Sanchez has prior convictions for driving under the influence of alcohol, fraud, hit-and-run, and probation violations.
The agency said Cambron-Sanchez will remain in custody pending his removal from the United States. ICE did not release further details on the dates or locations of his convictions.
“ERO San Antonio arrested Manuel Cambron-Sanchez, a citizen of Mexico illegally present in the U.S.,” the agency wrote in a July 9th post on X. “Cambron has convictions for driving under the influence of alcohol, fraud, hit and run, and probation violation. He will remain in ICE custody pending removal from the U.S.”

ICE officials emphasized that arrests like this are part of the agency’s broader strategy to enforce federal immigration law while prioritizing individuals with criminal records. Noncitizens who are convicted of crimes and found to be in the country illegally are subject to detention and removal under U.S. immigration law.
ERO officers conduct targeted operations to locate and detain individuals with prior criminal convictions, immigration violations, or active removal orders. ICE continues to assert that such operations are necessary to uphold public safety and the integrity of federal immigration enforcement.
Cambron-Sanchez’s case remains under administrative review, and ICE has not stated when his removal may take place.
