U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Harris County Sheriff’s Office apprehended a three-time deported criminal alien in Houston, Texas, for aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Harris County Sheriff’s Office arrested David Gonzalez-Martinez, a 52-year-old three-time deported criminal alien , on February 5th in Houston, Texas. Gonzalez-Martinez was wanted in Harris County for aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury. During routine daily operations, ICE officers apprehended Gonzalez-Martinez and he was subsequently booked into the Harris County Jail.
Following the arrest, ICE lodged an immigration detainer with the jail, requesting notification if Gonzalez-Martinez were to be released back into the community.Gonzalez-Martinez has illegally entered the United States at least four times and was previously deported to Mexico by U.S. immigration officials in September 2001, July 2008, and April 2015. While residing in the U.S. unlawfully, he accumulated several criminal convictions, including voluntary manslaughter, aggravated assault with a weapon, possession of marijuana, and illegal re-entry.Bret Bradford, Director of ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Houston Field Office, emphasized the importance of immigration detainers in ICE operations. 'Immigration detainers are one of the most indispensable resources in the ICE officer’s toolbox,' Bradford stated. 'They enable our officers to take direct custody of criminal aliens in the safe confines of the jail, which enhances the safety of everyone involved, and helps to eliminate unnecessary spending that would otherwise be required to go out and search for them in the community.' Bradford further stressed the threat posed by violent criminal aliens who disregard U.S. laws, stating, 'Violent criminal aliens like this individual who violate our nation’s system of laws with impunity are a direct threat to the safety of our communities.' He added, 'That danger is not lost on our officers who live and raise families in the Houston area. As a result, they are out in the field every day putting their lives on the line to track down dangerous criminal aliens and restore law and order in our communities.
