ICE Arrests Guatemalan Nationals for Various Offenses

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been actively involved in apprehending several Guatemalan nationals for various offenses. In Texas, Anderson and Ever Morales-Calderon were arrested for federal firearms offenses after being found with rifles during a traffic stop, facing up to 10 years in federal prison. Dennis Alexander Valenzuela, wanted for murder in Guatemala, was detained in Fort Worth and is pending removal proceedings. In Maryland, Gener Pop-Cuz was arrested for deadly weapons charges and previously evaded an immigration detainer; his case highlights the critical need for cooperation between local law enforcement and ICE. Additionally, Enemias Chilel-Martinez, with prior convictions, was arrested in Detroit, impacting market sentiment with a slight dip in cryptocurrency prices due to potential policy shifts. These arrests underscore ICE's efforts to uphold immigration laws and safeguard communities, though they also reveal tensions between federal and local law enforcement practices.
