Ramon Rodriguez-Turcios, a Honduran national with a final removal order, was arrested by ICE agents during a targeted enforcement operation in Pleasantville on April 30, 2026. He was the intended target, but agents also detained three Mexican men described by ICE as being in the country illegally. All four are being held pending removal proceedings or are in the process of being removed. An immigrant advocacy group leader said a fourth man, from Absecon, was also taken into custody, describing those detained as fathers and husbands with no criminal records.
