HOUSTON — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deported a Mexican national Thursday who had been removed from the U.S. six times and amassed multiple convictions for driving while intoxicated and theft, officials said.
Leticia Caballero Guadarrama, 53, was transported from the Montgomery Processing Center in Conroe, Texas, to the Laredo Port of Entry, where she was turned over to Mexican authorities.
Caballero had illegally entered the U.S. at least six times, with prior deportations in 2003, 2009, 2010, and most recently in 2025. She also has 14 criminal convictions, including six for DWI and six for theft or larceny.
Her DWI convictions date back to 2004, with the most recent occurring in June 2024. Her theft convictions spanned nearly two decades, with the latest in 2021. She was also twice convicted of refusing to provide identification to law enforcement.
ICE officials criticized Caballero’s repeated disregard for U.S. immigration laws and criminal offenses. “The level of disrespect that this criminal alien has shown for our system of laws is shocking,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Houston Field Office Director Bret Bradford.
Authorities emphasized that her removal is part of ongoing efforts to deport individuals with extensive criminal records who pose a threat to public safety.
