BALTIMORE, MD—An illegal immigrant convicted of attempted murder was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Cumberland, Maryland, on March 31, according to a press release.
Edvin Giovanni Ceron-Reyes, 37, a Guatemalan national, was transferred to ICE custody from the Western Correctional Facility. Ceron was convicted of attempted first-degree murder in Howard County in 2012. He will remain in ICE custody pending deportation to Guatemala.
“The apprehension of this convicted attempted murderer demonstrates the critical role that immigration enforcement plays in protecting our communities,” said ICE Baltimore Acting Field Office Director Nikita Baker in the press release. “Thanks to an honored immigration detainer, this dangerous criminal alien was safely transferred into ICE custody instead of being released back into the public.”
Ceron entered the United States illegally at an unknown date and location. He was arrested by the Howard County Police Department on July 7, 2011, and charged with attempted first-degree murder. ICE Baltimore issued an immigration detainer with the Howard County Detention Center the same day.
