Hwehwe had been convicted of intoxicated manslaughter, a second-degree felony in Texas, in Dallas County. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the offense.

The arrest was part of ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) efforts to target noncitizens with criminal convictions who may pose a risk to public safety. ICE officials emphasize focusing on individuals with such convictions. Hwehwe’s conviction for intoxicated manslaughter in Texas carries potential penalties of up to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Following his arrest, Hwehwe is in ICE custody awaiting removal proceedings.
