WINCHESTER, Va. — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested an illegal Haitian national convicted of drug crimes and charged with and threatening with a firearm and assaulting a Virginia resident. Officers with ICE Washington, D.C. arrested Rodney Soloman in Winchester Feb. 7.

“Rodney Soloman has already been convicted of drug crimes in Virginia, and now he stands accused of assaulting and threatening a local resident with a firearm,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Washington, D.C. Field Office Director Russ Hott. “Mr. Soloman violated his right to remain in the United States legally and has demonstrated the type of behavior that ICE Washington, D.C. will not tolerate. We stand firmly committed to our mission of prioritizing public safety by arresting and removing illegal alien offenders from our Washington, D.C. and Virginia communities.”
