U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has deported a self-admitted MS-13 gang member with ties to Mexico’s Cartel del Noreste after he completed a prison sentence in Texas, Newsmax learned exclusively Thursday. According to the Department of Homeland Security, ICE removed Isaias Jose Rodriguez-Manzanares, a Honduran national, to Honduras on June 20 after taking custody of him from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice when he completed a two-year sentence for felony drug possession. According to DHS, immigration officials first encountered Rodriguez-Manzanares in January 2024 following his arrest by the Irving Police Department on a liquor-related offense. The agency said he was not detained or removed at that time despite authorities being aware of his admitted MS-13 affiliation.

Rodriguez-Manzanares was arrested again in June 2025 by the Colleyville Police Department on drug trafficking and weapons charges. Prosecutors later reduced the charges, and he was convicted of felony possession of a controlled substance in December 2025, receiving a two-year prison sentence. ICE assumed custody after his release, and a Justice Department immigration judge issued a final order of removal before his deportation. Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis credited cooperation between Texas law enforcement and ICE for the removal, saying the case demonstrates the benefits of state and federal coordination on immigration enforcement. She also criticized the Biden administration, arguing it failed to detain Rodriguez-Manzanares after his earlier encounters with law enforcement. DHS said Rodriguez-Manzanares entered the United States illegally at an unknown time and location. The department identified him as both an admitted MS-13 member and an associate of the Cartel del Noreste, a violent Mexican drug trafficking organization.

The Mexican authorities have arrested two top criminals, one of them a close ally of the slain founder of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), prompting gunmen to block roads near the border city of Reynosa. Audias Flores, known as “El Jardinero”, is a regional commander in control of swathes of CJNG territory along Mexico’s Pacific coast. He was considered a potential successor to Nemesio Oseguera, alias “El Mencho”, who ran the cartel and was killed in a security operation in February. Security forces surrounded a cabin in El Mirador, 12 miles (20km) north of the resort city of Puerto Vallarta, where Flores was being protected by a perimeter of about 30 pickup trucks and more than 60 gunmen, according to a press release from Mexico’s navy, which led the operation.

Who was El Mencho, the former police officer who co-founded an ultraviolent cartel in Mexico? Read more Flores’s escorts scattered as a diversion but he was located as he tried to hide in a drainage ditch, it added. “The operation was carried out with surgical precision without a single shot being fired,” the navy said in a statement. Videos shared by Mexico’s security minister, Omar García Harfuch, on social media showed aerial footage of the arrest as helicopters hovered overhead during the operation, which the navy said followed 19 months of surveillance and involved more than 500 troops, six helicopters and several planes.
