A massive law enforcement operation in a subdivision in Plum Grove, Texas, resulted in the arrest of nearly 120 illegal aliens, including an alleged MS-13 member accused of murder who had been removed from the U.S. six times before getting arrested again this week.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), Homeland Security and the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office executed the operation that resulted in the arrest of 118 alleged illegal immigrants Monday, including 34-year-old Luis Miguel Perez-Miranda of El Salvador.

Perez-Miranda was wanted after he allegedly murdered a Houston-area man in the Colony Ridge neighborhood, sparking a manhunt by authorities in Dayton, Texas. He was ultimately caught and taken to the Liberty County Jail.

Homan said some of the illegal migrants arrested had warrants and were arrested at worksites, while others were picked up during traffic stops conducted by DPS. 

“It wasn’t a community being targeted,” Homan said. “We have specific targets we are looking for. We know exactly what we are looking for and the crimes they had committed during this operation.” 

According to Homan, their priority is criminal illegal migrants and national security threats. However, he has made it clear that anyone in the country illegally is also at risk of deportation. 

ICE confirmed the charges and convictions of those arrested include criminal sexual conduct, homicide, theft, negligent manslaughter, child sexual abuse, crimes of moral turpitude, weapons offenses and drug offenses.
