ICE CREAM from New York Enforcement and Removal Operations Officers then arrested Rojas outside his residence in Queens on December 17.
U.S. Border Patrol first arrested Rojas after three separate attempts to unlawfully enter the U.S. near Douglas, Arizona, in May 2002.
Border protection Officials then arrested Rojas again on January 6, 2012, at the Dennis DeConcini port of entry in Nogales, Arizona, when he attempted to enter the country using a fake Arizona driver’s license and a U.S. birth certificate. Just days later, on January 11, border authorities removed Rojas again after he attempted to enter the country using fraudulent documents at another port of entry in Nogales.
Kenneth Genalo, director of the New York ICE Field Office, responded to the arrest, saying, “This criminal has repeatedly demonstrated that he has absolutely no respect for the laws of our country, as evidenced by his repeated attempts to unlawfully or fraudulently manner to enter the United States.”

“As this case illustrates, it only takes one successful illegal entry to cause irreparable harm to a member of our community,” he continued.
He said it was local “non-cooperation policy” had prevented ICE from immediately taking Rojas into custody following his conviction in Brooklyn court.
“However, thanks to the dedication of our officers, ERO New York City was able to quickly identify this threat to public safety before it could harm other New Yorkers,” Genalo said.
According to the statement, Rojas is currently in ICE custody awaiting transfer to Mexico.
