ICE Denver Officers Arrest Guatemalan National Cited for Prior Assault Convictions
DENVER — Officers with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) have arrested Alexis Gabriel Calderon Tzul, a Guatemalan national, during a targeted enforcement action in the Denver area.
According to an official statement released by ERO Denver, Calderon Tzul was identified as a priority for arrest due to his criminal history. Authorities confirmed that the subject has prior convictions for assault. He is currently being processed by federal authorities and is expected to face removal proceedings to return him to Guatemala.
Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) serves as the principal enforcement arm of ICE. The agency focuses its resources on the identification, arrest, and removal of non-citizens who present a threat to national security, public safety, or border security. This arrest aligns with current agency directives to prioritize individuals with standing criminal records within the United States justice system.
While law enforcement officials highlight the removal of individuals with violent convictions as a necessary measure for community safety, immigration advocacy groups continue to emphasize the importance of due process. Legal experts point out that all detainees are entitled to a review of their cases, where factors such as time spent in the country, family connections, and rehabilitation efforts can sometimes be weighed against removal orders. As of this report, no public statement has been released by legal representatives for Calderon Tzul regarding his specific defense or the circumstances of the assault convictions.
