Two Latin American nationals arrested by ICE in Arlington, Va., facing deportation

ARLINGTON, Va. (7News) — Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested two men for felony charges in Arlington, Virginia, according to X posts by the ICE Washington bureau on Saturday.

Francisco Reyes-Ramirez from El Salvador was charged with felony drug possession and distribution charges and faces removal from the United States, according to ICE. He's being held at the Caroline Detention Facility in Bowling Green, Virginia.

ICE also arrested Enrique Montes Flores-Espana, a Guatemalan man who re-entered the U.S. twice after being deported, according to officials. He was charged with consensual sex with a minor and proposing sex with a minor online.

It is unknown what facility Flores-Espana is being held in, according to a detainee locator provided by ICE. He also faces removal from the United States.

The government agency's priority is to "capture the worst first," with agents nationwide targeting immigrants in the U.S. illegally with serious criminal offenses.
