Authorities nab several violent criminals in US illegally, including man arrested 12 times in 8 years
ICE announced on Monday that several illegal migrants with a violent criminal history have been captured and are in custody.
Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) San Francisco reported that Syed Mohamed Tousif Mohiuddin, 39, of India, was in the U.S. illegally after overstaying his visa in 2010.
ERO San Francisco said Mohiuddin entered the United States at the Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport in Detroit, Michigan, on March 9, 2010, and failed to depart under the terms of his visa.
On August 19, 2013, the Fremont Police Department arrested Mohiuddin for assault with a deadly weapon and vandalism.

According to the organization, Mohiuddin was arrested 12 times in California between 2013 and 2021 for a handful of violent crimes, including battery with serious bodily injury, stalking, hit-and-run, robbery and intent to terrorize.

“This arrest demonstrates how seriously we take our commitment to safeguarding our communities from individuals like Mohiuddin,” said ERO San Francisco Field Office Director Moises Becerra. “Our officers will continue to work night and day to ensure protection and safety from those who intend to do harm.”
ICE said Mohiuddin will remain in ERO custody pending removal proceedings.
This latest arrest comes after ERO Boston announced on Monday two more illegal migrant arrests.
One arrest included a Honduran national who was wanted for murder in Honduras and other local assault charges.
ERO Boston apprehended the 23-year-old Honduran national on Feb. 27 in Providence, Rhode Island.

ICE said he was an unlawfully present fugitive being sought for homicide in Honduras who was found guilty of felony assault with a weapon and domestic violence, then released from court despite the existence of an active immigration detainer for his custody.
“It is very disturbing that, despite the serious charges this fugitive faces and the existence of an active immigration detainer filed for his custody, he was released by the court back into the community. This case only highlights the importance of why ERO Boston seeks to cooperate with local communities to protect public safety in our region,” said ERO Boston Field Office Director Todd M. Lyons.
ERO Boston stated that the Honduran national first attempted to enter the United States unlawfully in January 2021 but was expelled under the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Title 42 emergency health order. Later that year, he unlawfully entered the United States at an unknown location without being admitted, inspected or paroled by a U.S. immigration official.
ICE has confirmed that he is being sought for homicide by law enforcement authorities in the city of El Progreso in the province of Yoro, Honduras.

Officials also said a 44-year-old Colombian national and convicted sex offender was caught on Feb. 14 in East Boston. Deportation officers from ERO Boston apprehended the Colombian noncitizen who was convicted of indecent assault and battery of a person over the age of 14 in December 2022, during a nationwide law enforcement effort that netted 275 noncitizen sex offenders.
“This Colombian sex offender not only broke our immigration laws; he victimized a Massachusetts resident,” said Lyons. “We cannot allow such threats to roam the streets of our New England communities. ERO Boston will continue to prioritize public safety by arresting and removing such threats from our neighborhoods.”
U.S. Border Patrol arrested the Colombian noncitizen in August 2022, near San Luis, Arizona, served him with a notice to appear before a Department of Justice immigration judge, and released him on his own recognizance.

Police in Massachusetts apprehended him in September 2022 and charged him with indecent assault and battery on a person over 14.
He pleaded guilty in December 2022, and the court sentenced him to probation for one year.
The migrants will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.

American Rare Earths strengthens board with veteran Wyoming mine builder ahead of planned Nasdaq listing
Veteran mine builder Matthew Gili will join American Rare Earths Ltd (ASX:ARR, OTCQX:ARRNF)’s board as a non-executive director as the company advances the Halleck Creek Rare Earths Project in Wyoming and prepares for a planned Nasdaq compliance listing in H2 2026.
Gili is currently president and CEO of Ur-Energy Inc, a NYSE American and TSX-listed Wyoming uranium producer, and brings more than 25 years of mine development and operational experience across major global mining groups including Rio Tinto and Barrick.
His appointment remains subject to completion of Australian regulatory formalities, which American Rare Earths expects to be completed shortly.
Once formally appointed, Gili will join the company’s Technical Committee and contribute to the Definitive Feasibility Study workstream at Halleck Creek, which American Rare Earths describes as the largest known rare earth deposit in the United States on a total rare earth oxide basis.
Board renewal ahead of US listing plans
The appointment forms part of a broader board renewal process as ARR works toward a Nasdaq compliance dual-listing in H2 2026, while retaining the ASX as its primary listing.
The company is also considering a full US domicile in 2027, subject to a prospective shareholder vote.
CEO Mark Wall said Gili’s operational experience and Wyoming background would strengthen the board as Halleck Creek moves toward construction and production.
“The intended addition of Matt to our Board of Directors further demonstrates our commitment to advancing the largest rare earth element deposit on a total contained rare earths basis in the United States toward construction and operations. Matt brings a tremendous blend of mining technical expertise and Wyoming-specific experience to both the Board and the Technical Committee. His depth of operational knowledge, his relationships in Wyoming, and his proven track record of delivering world-class mining projects, including building the first new copper mine in the United States in a decade, make him exactly the right person to help us get Halleck Creek built.
“As we progress toward our NASDAQ listing later this year, appointments of this calibre send a clear message to U.S. investors about the quality of the team and the seriousness of our intent. Matt’s experience managing ISR uranium operations in Wyoming gives him first-hand knowledge of the hydrometallurgical processing chemistry that will be central to bringing Halleck Creek into production. The parallels between uranium and rare earth processing are substantial and practically meaningful. This is not simply a credential; it is operational expertise that will directly benefit our Technical Committee and Feasibility Study.”

San Francisco Supervisor Jackie Fielder to return following mental health leave
San Francisco Supervisor Jackie Fielder will resume her duties next week after taking a three-month leave of absence due to mental health.
“I’m coming clear-eyed and grounded and eager to serve in this role again,” Fielder said in a video posted to social media Tuesday.
Fielder was first elected in 2024 to serve District 9, which includes the Mission District and Bernal Heights and Portola neighborhoods. In late March of this year, her staffers announced she was taking a leave of absence to address an “acute personal health crisis” after missing a few weeks of Board of Supervisors meetings.
“I left the work that I love so much, not because I wanted to, but because my mental health demanded it, and I say that with no shame,” she said.
In the video statement, Fielder mentioned that the pressure of serving as a supervisor took a toll on her mental health.
“I’ve often felt like the weight of this district and city is on my shoulders, and I, through this leave, have had the silver lining of understanding that it never has,” she said. “I was going 100 miles an hour since early 2023 when I started the campaign for supervisor, and being a grassroots candidate is a lot of elbow grease.”
Fielder’s staff continued some of the work in her district while she was gone. She thanked her colleagues and Mayor Daniel Lurie for their support and allowing her to be excused from meetings.
Fielder will return to work Monday and appear at the June 30 board meeting. She is also expected to host listening sessions in her district through July.
“I am an example that it is possible to come back and heal,” she said. “I could not be more honored to serve and more ready to serve.”
