U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers arrested a Salvadoran national and validated MS-13 gang member with a prior conviction for possession of a loaded handgun. German Ronal Del Cid Carranza, 33, was apprehended on February 4th in Silver Spring, Maryland.
“The swift and flawless apprehension of this violent MS-13 gang member is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our officers,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Baltimore Acting Field Office Director Matthew Elliston. “MS-13 has been deemed a foreign terrorist organization, and individuals like Del Cid, convicted of carrying a deadly handgun, pose a direct and ongoing threat to our Maryland residents. It is our top priority to arrest and remove egregious criminals. I commend our officers for their unwavering dedication to upholding public safety, ensuring that dangerous criminals are removed from our communities and brought to justice.”

Del Cid remains in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.
