U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested two Mexican nationals in Arlington, Texas, on July 31. Pedro Luis Ortiz-Mendez and his brother, Jose Vicente Ortiz-Mendez, are wanted for multiple murders in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. The arrests occurred during a targeted immigration enforcement operation. The brothers are accused of crimes committed at a festival in San Luis Potosi on May 24, 2024, involving a shooting and a machete attack. ICE has focused on arresting criminal illegal aliens, with 70% of its arrests involving individuals convicted or charged with crimes in the U.S. 'Thanks to ICE law enforcement, these individuals are off our streets,' said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, emphasizing the agency's efforts to remove public safety threats. The Ortiz-Mendez brothers entered the U.S. without inspection by an immigration officer.
