CHANTILLY, Va. – U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arrested two Guatemalan brothers in Chantilly who the agency says have criminal records in the United States.
ICE’s Washington, D.C. field office identified the men as Osman Estrada-Gonzales and Cornelio Estrada-Gonzales. The agency described both as Guatemalan nationals and “criminal alien offenders,” although its announcement did not provide their ages or detailed immigration histories.
- ICE arrested brothers Osman and Cornelio Estrada-Gonzales in Chantilly, Virginia.
- The agency says Osman’s criminal history includes domestic assault.
- ICE says Cornelio’s record includes two DWI offenses, assault and public records forgery.
The arrests are the latest announced by ICE Washington, D.C. as immigration officers continue enforcement operations across Northern Virginia.
ICE Arrests Brothers in Chantilly
ICE announced the arrests Friday, releasing photographs of both men and a brief description of their criminal histories.
“ICE ERO Washington D.C. arrested brothers Osman and Cornelio Estrada-Gonzales, both criminal alien offenders from Guatemala, in Chantilly, VA,” the agency said.
ICE said Osman Estrada-Gonzales has a criminal history that includes domestic assault.
Cornelio Estrada-Gonzales has a more extensive record described by the agency, including two DWI offenses, assault and public records forgery.
The brief announcement did not identify the courts where those cases were handled, provide dates for the offenses or distinguish between arrests and convictions.
ICE also did not disclose when or how the brothers entered the United States or whether either had previously been ordered removed.
Northern Virginia Remains Focus of ICE Enforcement
Chantilly sits in the heavily populated Northern Virginia suburbs outside Washington, D.C., an area where ICE has carried out numerous enforcement operations.
In March 2025, Shore News Network reported that ICE arrested more than 200 illegal immigrant gang members and other targeted offenders during a Northern Virginia crackdown.
That two-week operation resulted in 214 arrests and focused on transnational organized crime, gang activity and offenders with serious criminal records.
ICE’s Washington field office has continued announcing individual arrests throughout Virginia, including cases involving people with previous arrests or convictions who later came into federal immigration custody.
Shore News Network also previously reported on ICE’s arrest of a Guatemalan national in Fairfax after the agency said local authorities declined 16 immigration detainers.
ICE Gives Few Details on Brothers’ Immigration Cases
The agency’s announcement did not say whether Osman or Cornelio Estrada-Gonzales is currently subject to a final order of removal.
ICE also did not specify whether the brothers will remain detained while immigration proceedings continue or whether the agency intends to remove them to Guatemala.
The criminal histories cited by ICE likewise came without supporting case numbers or a detailed breakdown of the underlying proceedings.
That means the available information establishes that ICE says the men have the listed criminal histories, but the agency’s brief statement does not provide enough information to independently characterize each offense as an arrest, charge or conviction.
Additional details could become available if ICE releases the brothers’ immigration histories or information about their previous encounters with local law enforcement.
The two men arrested are brothers from Guatemala.
ICE identified them as Osman Estrada-Gonzales and Cornelio Estrada-Gonzales and said both were taken into custody in Chantilly.
ICE says both men have criminal histories in the United States.
The agency cited domestic assault in Osman’s history and two DWI offenses, assault and public records forgery in Cornelio’s history.
ICE has not released detailed immigration histories for the brothers.
The agency’s announcement did not say when they entered the country, whether they previously received removal orders or what comes next in their immigration cases.
