Siso has an active warrant out of Virginia for possession of burglary tools and faces a pending larceny charge in Florida. He was arrested alongside three other men who are also in the country illegally, according to ICE.
“Our teams are working daily to remove criminal aliens and immigration violators from our communities across Michigan and Ohio,” said Kevin Raycraft, acting field office director for ICE ERO Detroit. “I’m extraordinarily grateful to our officers for their service, especially when they sacrifice time with their own families to keep our communities safe.”
Tren De Aragua is known for its involvement in sex trafficking, debt bondage, drug trafficking, and murder, according to ICE officials.
“We’re thankful to have the assistance of our TSA, Federal Air Marshals and IRS partners in executing this important mission,” said Jared Murphey, acting special agent in charge of HSI Detroit.
The public is encouraged to report suspicious activity by calling the ICE Tip Line at 866-DHS-2-ICE or submitting a tip online.

I am so glad to see this type of person gone. I do understand that most people are good. But if he is a member of this terroeist gang. Drop him in the middle of yhe Atlantic with a six pack of water and half a dozens sandwiches and point him south and tell him to row his way to his homeland.
