A Mexican national with a long history of drunken driving offenses was rounded up in a raid by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials in southern Texas.

Officials with the Harlingen Fugitive Operations Unit, a division of ICE, arrested Jesus Artemio De Alba-Medrano last Wednesday for re-entering the country illegally, KGBT reports.

DeAlba-Medrano, a 44-year-old Mexican citizen living with his wife in Alamo, was previously convicted of drunken driving in 1997, 2000, 2004, and 2007, according to Hidalgo County court records cited by the television station.

He was apprehended in a raid and remains in federal custody, presumably awaiting deportation.

DeAlba-Medrano’s arrest comes a little over a month after the Harlingen Fugitive Operations Unit arrested 31-year-old Mexican national Adrian Rincon-Ruiz, who lived in nearby Edinburg, KGBT reports.

Roncon-Ruiz was sentenced to 10 years of probation in April 2012 for sexually assaulting a child, sentenced to 10 years of probation, and deported him back to Mexico.

“Record checks revealed the defendant was formally removed from the United States to Mexico on April 27, 2012 via the Brownsville, Texas Port of Entry. The defendant was instructed not to return without permission from the Attorney General or the Secretary of Homeland Security of the United States,” according to the federal complaint.

“The defendant claims to have illegally re-entered the United States on or about February 1, 2016 by wading the Rio Grande River at or near Hildago, Texas.”

Roncon-Ruiz was also charged with illegal re-entry and taken into federal custody.

He’s among about 45,000 illegal immigrants to flood into the United States during the first eight months of the current fiscal year, which is “well above the 2015 yearlong total of fewer than 40,000, but short of the record pace in 2014, when a massive surge exposed gaping holes in the U.S. immigration system,” according to a June report by The Washington Times.

Those figures were produced by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, while U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials report nearly 60,000 unaccompanied children and families have been caught attempting to cross the southwest border.

Overall, the total number of illegal immigrants apprehended on the border remains well below historic figures, but is quickly rising, according to the news site.

“In 2015, only slightly more than 330,000 were caught on the southwestern border, notching the lowest total since the 1970s,” the Times reports. “This year is almost certain to be higher, with some 264,192 caught through the first eight months of the fiscal year.”

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement stats on removals in fiscal year 2015 show a total of 235,413 removals, including 69,478 individuals removed in the interior part of the country and 165,935 nabbed near the border.

According to the ICE website, “59% of all ICE removals, or 139,368, were previously convicted of a crime.”

That number includes 63,539 criminals removed from the interior of the country, and 75,829 criminals apprehended near the border.

“The leading countries of origin for removals were Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador,” ICE reports. “1,040 individuals removed by ICE were classified as suspected or confirmed gang members.”
