DETROIT— Detroit Sector Border Patrol agents have arrested two criminal aliens illegally present in the United States in separate incidents in the past two weeks. Both arrests are the result of U.S. Border Patrol investigations.

Enrique Jimenez-Padilla

The first arrest took place on Thursday, November 7, when U.S. Border Patrol agents arrested 45 year old Mexican citizen Enrique Jimenez-Padilla during a traffic stop on Mann road in Clarkston, Michigan.

During processing, it was confirmed that Jimenez-Padilla has a felony conviction for inflicting corporal injury to a spouse. He was formally removed from the United States in June of 1995, out of Calexico, California and stated that he illegally reentered the United States on foot in 2009.

“These arrests are a testament to the dedication and professionalism that U.S. Border Patrol agents have in removing criminal aliens from the streets of the United States making our communities safer,” said Acting Deputy Chief Patrol Agent Alan Booth.

Ala Kazm Rasn

The second incident took place on Friday, November 15, when Detroit Station Border Patrol agents arrested Ala Kazm Rasn in Detroit during a consensual encounter. Ala Kazm is a 47 year old citizen of Iraq who has two felony convictions, a lengthy criminal record, and was ordered removed from the United States in November, 2003.
