The feds say they sent a new group of gang members out of the country last week. Some of them had criminal records in Texas.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, or DHS, put out the list on Tuesday, September 29. DHS says ICE deported the men from September 21 to September 26. ICE is the agency that arrests and deports people who are not here legally.

DHS says each man was here illegally. It says each one is in a gang. It says many had been found guilty of crimes like murder, assault, drunk driving and break-ins.

"Every single deportation makes America safer," said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin.

Here is what DHS says about the men with Texas cases.

The first is Jonathan Josue Rivera-Caceres. He is from Honduras. DHS says he is in MS-13. He was sent out on September 22.

DHS says a Texas court found him guilty of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. That crime means hurting or threatening someone with a weapon. He was also found guilty of drunk driving. He was arrested, too, for threats against a cop or a judge.

DHS says he crossed into Texas in April 2014. Border Patrol caught him. DHS says the Obama administration then let him go into the country. An immigration judge ordered him out on August 21, 2026.

The next is Yarlee Freddy Acosta Salmeron. He is also from Honduras. DHS says he is in a gang called the Southwest Cholos. He was sent out on September 21.

DHS says he was found guilty in Texas of hurting a family member. He was also found guilty of theft from a person. He was also found guilty of giving cops false facts while he was wanted. DHS says he had been deported in 1994, 2009 and 2015. Each time, it says, he came back.

The last is Daniel Torres Rodriguez. He is from Mexico. DHS says he is in Los Zetas. He was sent out on September 25.

DHS says he was found guilty in Texas of making or selling drugs. He was also found guilty of having pot. He was found guilty, too, of coming back in after he was deported. And he was found guilty of running from cops. DHS lists two more arrests. One was for hurting a family member. One was for a liquor crime. DHS says he had been deported in 2003, 2009, 2011, 2017 and 2022.

The rest of the men had cases in other states. They came from Mexico, Jamaica, Guatemala, El Salvador and Laos.

DHS says two men from Mexico had been found guilty of second-degree murder. One case was in Michigan. The other was in Arizona. Others on the list had cases for assault, gun crimes, theft and drugs. Those cases were in Maryland, Ohio, California and Oregon.

One man has no guilty finding on the list at all. His name is Roberto Benjamin Rodriguez-Padilla. He is from El Salvador. DHS says he was arrested for drunk driving in Virginia. DHS also says he has an international warrant for killing a police officer in his home country. The list does not say he was ever found guilty of that.

There are other things the list does not show. It has no court documents. It has no case numbers. It does not say how DHS knew each man was in a gang. It gives no ages. It does not say how many people ICE deported in all last week.

DHS calls every man on the list an illegal alien. But DHS also says two of them came in legally. One came from Jamaica in 2009. One came from Laos in 1983. DHS says judges ordered them out after they broke the law.

Some of the men also had arrests listed next to their crimes. An arrest is not a guilty finding. The list does not say how those arrests ended.

DHS has put out lists like this before. It posted some in August and in mid-September.

Everyone is presumed innocent until proved otherwise.
