ICE Arrests MS-13 member with lengthy rap sheet after Virginia county refused to cooperate

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement recently apprehended a known member of the MS-13 gang with a well-documented history of arrests, such as assault and burglary, as confirmed by ICE in a statement to Fox News on Friday.

The individual in question, Mykol Santos-Santos, aged 25, hails from Guatemala and is currently residing in the United States without proper documentation. ICE officials carried out the arrest in Fairfax, Virginia, under the jurisdiction of their Washington, D.C. office earlier this week.

An ICE officer was injured during the arrest when Santos-Santos resisted. 

Among the various offenses that Santos-Santos has been charged with and convicted of are assault and battery, burglary, credit card fraud, trespassing, drug-related offenses, property damage, obstruction of justice, attempting to evade law enforcement, failure to make court appearances, and violating court-issued orders.

“Mykol Santos-Santos is a habitual offender. He is a documented member of a violent criminal gang with a lengthy criminal history and represents an egregious danger to our Virginia communities,” ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Washington, D.C. Field Office Director Russell Hott said. “While we are happy to have arrested him, we find it inexcusable that local law enforcement refused to honor 16 separate immigration detainers against Santos-Santos, forcing ICE officers to make an at large arrest where one of our officers was injured.”

He continued, “We could have worked together with local law enforcement to arrange a safe transfer of custody. Instead, they decided to place politics ahead of public safety, and as a result one of our brave officers was injured. ICE Washington D.C. will continue to prioritize the safety of our public by arresting and removing criminal alien threats to our communities.”
