ICE arrests illegal immigrant who self-reported, threatened public
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested a homeless Venezuelan illegal immigrant who officials say walked into the agency’s Detroit office and demanded to be taken into custody – or else he would “go out and commit crimes.”
The Venezuelan national – who was not publicly identified – will now remain in custody pending immigration proceedings.
“We’re grateful that this individual self-reported and turned himself over to ICE before going out and threatening public safety,” ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Detroit Field Office Director Robert Lynch said in a statement.
The agency announced Monday that the 23-year-old man “entered the agency’s lobby” in Detroit on Feb. 6 “and asked to be taken into custody, stating that if ICE did not arrest him, he would go out and commit crimes.”

“Pavon, who was previously removed from the U.S., unlawfully re-entered the U.S. at an unknown date and location,” ICE added.
