ICE announced the arrests of two immigrants in Maryland after their release from county custody, including one man the agency identifies as a suspected Tren de Aragua gang member awaiting removal proceedings.

BALTIMORE, Md. – U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says officers arrested two immigrants during targeted enforcement operations after the Prince George’s County Detention Center released them despite federal immigration detainers.

According to ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations, officers arrested Yeferson Jose Canamo-Jordan, 28, a Venezuelan national identified by ICE as a suspected member of the Tren de Aragua gang, and Felipe Fernando Reymundo, 23, a Guatemalan national, during lawful vehicle stops in Upper Marlboro on July 9.

ICE said the arrests followed the men’s release from the Prince George’s County Detention Center after local authorities did not honor immigration detainers.

ICE criticizes release from county jail

“Sanctuary policies continue to disregard U.S. immigration law and put communities at risk by releasing illegal aliens prone to criminal activity into our communities,” said ERO Washington Field Office Director Robert Guadian.

“By choosing not to honor ICE detainers, county jails give us no option but to conduct more arrests in the community rather than in the safe and controlled environment of a jail. ICE will continue to uphold our nation’s law and hold illegal aliens accountable for unlawfully entering the U.S.,” Guadian added.

ICE said Canamo-Jordan unlawfully entered the United States in August 2022 and was paroled by U.S. Border Patrol. According to the agency, he was later convicted of driving without a valid license and was recently charged with assault.

Federal officials identify Canamo-Jordan as a suspected member of Tren de Aragua. ICE’s announcement did not describe the evidence supporting that allegation, and no gang-related criminal conviction was cited in the release.

Second man faces prior criminal charges

ICE said Reymundo entered the United States without inspection at an unknown time and location.

According to the agency, he has been arrested since 2025 on charges including arson, malicious destruction of property, trespassing, and motor vehicle theft.

ICE stated that both men remain in federal custody pending immigration removal proceedings.

The agency added that it will continue lodging immigration detainers against individuals it believes are removable under federal immigration law, even when local jurisdictions decline to honor those requests.
