Houston ICE Arrests Mexican Sought in Journalist Killing

HOUSTON, Texas — An illegal alien from Mexico, wanted for tax evasion and for questioning in the homicide of a Mexican reporter, was arrested by ICE agents July 2.

Jesus Rojas-Lopez, 41, is wanted in Mexico for questioning regarding the murder of Veracruz, Mexico, journalist Raul Gibb Guerrero, in addition to tax evasion charges. Interpol and the Agencia Federal de Investigaciones (AFI) had been looking for Rojas-Lopez for several months.

Interpol and AFI informed ICE that Rojas-Lopez was in the Houston area. ICE agents located and arrested Rojas-Lopez on immigration violations.

“This arrest reinforces our continued commitment to work with law enforcement agencies in the United States and in Mexico,” said Bob Rutt, ICE’s Special Agent-in-Charge in Houston. “We will not allow fugitives to hide in our communities to avoid prosecution for crimes committed in other countries.”

Rojas-Lopez remains in ICE custody and has been placed into removal proceedings. He will be turned over to the Mexican authorities.
