ICE Salt Lake City announces 52 illegal aliens were arrested during recent operation

RENO, Nev. — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 52 illegal aliens during a four-day operation from May 5 to May 8 focused on bolstering public safety in northern Nevada.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations and its interagency partners identified, detained and removed dangerous criminals in the northern Nevada area, including Carson City and Reno. Criminal aliens in the U.S. illegally should utilize the CBP Home app to self-deport and avoid arrest by ICE.

Among the criminal aliens arrested during the operation included:

• Ernesto Lopez-Barrios, 50, of El Salvador, who was convicted of child molestation and DUI.
• Luis Urbina-Bucio, 36, of Mexico in Reno, who was convicted of battery and carrying a concealed weapon.
• Ariberto Roque-Sanchez, 32, of Mexico in Carson City, who was convicted of “statutory sexual seduction,” also known as statutory rape.
• Rodolfo Hernandez-Yanez, 52, of Mexico in Carson City, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter.

Several federal law enforcement agencies assisted ICE during the operation, including Drug Enforcement Administration, the FBI, the ATF and the U.S. Marshals Service, along with local law enforcement partners.
