ERO removes foreign fugitive wanted in Mexico on domestic violence charges

DENVER — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Denver removed an unlawfully present foreign fugitive and public safety threat Aug. 30.

Aldo Castillo-Caraveo, 52, is wanted in Mexico on domestic violence charges. Castillo was detained by ICE officers June 17 upon completion of his sentence with the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) for illegal reentry.

Castillo was convicted of trespassing on an automobile with the intent to commit a crime in the Denver County District Court, State of Colorado, Aug. 13, 2001. He was also convicted of felony escape while in prison in January.

Castillo entered the U.S. without inspection August 2021, near Antelope Wells, New Mexico, where he was convicted of illegal reentry and sentenced to 10 months imprisonment. Castillo has been previously removed from the U.S. on five separate occasions: December 2000, June 2004, April 2013 and 2016, and March 2017. Castillo has been convicted of illegal reentry three times and sentenced to time in a federal facility.

The San Diego Special Response Team (SRT) was activated to remove Castillo due to his violent background. The team, in conjunction with officials from the Secretaria De Gobernacion Instituto Nacional De Migracion in Tijuana, Mexico, facilitated the return of Perez to his country of origin.

SRT members are trained to serve high-risk warrants under hazardous conditions, escort dangerous criminals who have been ordered removed, and assist local law enforcement agencies during critical incidents.

Members of the public who have information about foreign fugitives are urged to call the ICE Tip Line at 1-866-DHS-2-ICE or internationally at 001-1802-872-6199. Tips can also be submitted through ICE’s online tip form.
