ICE Denver arrests Honduran alien with firearm, drug charges

DENVER — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Adan Desederio Pavon-Andino, 30, an illegally present Honduran national in Thornton, Colorado, Feb. 5.

Pavon has two convictions for felony marijuana possession and is facing four charges of felony possession with intent to distribute fentanyl, felony re-entry as well as alien in possession of a firearm.

“I don’t think I can be more clear, ICE is not going to tolerate those who peddle drugs and steal guns in our communities,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Denver Field Office Director Robert Guadian. “We’re glad to partner with the DEA in executing a lawful order to effect the arrest of Pavon. He will face justice and then removal from the United States.”

Pavon, who was previously removed from the U.S., unlawfully re-entered the U.S. at an unknown date and location.

Members of the public can report crimes and suspicious activity by dialing 866-DHS-2-ICE (866-347-2423) or completing the online tip form.
