NOGALES, ARIZONA — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Tuesday removed a Mexican national wanted for family violence in his home country, transferring him to Mexican authorities at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Juan Jasso-Botello, 44, was deported March 25 after being held at the Florence Detention Center. He was handed over to Mexican officials at the Dennis DeConcini Port of Entry in Nogales.
Key Points:
- Juan Jasso-Botello, 44, was removed by ICE and transferred to Mexican authorities on March 25.
- He is wanted in Mexico for family violence and had entered the U.S. illegally in November 2024.
- ICE officials emphasized interagency cooperation in his arrest and deportation.
