Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in Texas recently arrested an illegal migrant they accuse of breaking into the country a half dozen times.
Jorge Carvajal Castrejon, 36, was arrested in Houston on Jan. 28, during an enhanced immigration enforcement operation with partners from the FBI and other agencies, according to a statement from ICE.
Castrejon is accused of illegally entering the U.S. six times, according to ICE.

Some of the operations took place in Baltimore and Houston, according to the agency.
“ICE Houston remains committed to working with our law enforcement partners to apprehend and remove criminal aliens like Carvajal from the local community who violate our nation’s immigration laws and present a threat to public safety, national security, and border security,” ICE’s Houston Field Office told FOX 26.
ICE is partaking in an effort to arrest “criminal illegal aliens with no legal basis to remain in the U.S.,” authorities said.
Immigration enforcement operations include federal law enforcement partners from FBI, DEA, ATF, CBP, and the U.S. Marshals Service in a whole-of-government approach.
