Official DHS/ICE removal records or court/transportation records corroborate that Eduardo Flores-Ruiz was removed from the United States on November 14, 2025.

Source summary
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security published a release saying activists and others obstructed federal agents attempting to arrest alleged violent offenders, including child rapists, sex offenders, gang members, and other criminals. DHS and ICE describe multiple incidents across several states where agitators, apartment managers, a local judge, and organized networks interfered with arrests, but ICE reports it ultimately apprehended and removed those individuals.

The DHS Feb. 6, 2026 press release about the case states ICE, assisted by deputized FBI officials, carried out a targeted arrest of Eduardo Flores‑Ruiz on April 18, 2025 and explicitly says "He was successfully removed on November 14, 2025." An earlier DHS/ICE news release from Nov. 14, 2025 says ICE removed him on Nov. 13, 2025, and contemporaneous reporting (AP/PBS Wisconsin, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) notes DHS announced his deportation on Nov. 14 while indicating the removal occurred on Nov. 13. Verdict: True — DHS does report Flores‑Ruiz was arrested on April 18, 2025 and (per DHS's Feb. 6, 2026 post) removed on Nov. 14, 2025, although DHS materials show a one‑day discrepancy (Nov. 13 vs. Nov. 14) across releases.

    DHS did report that Eduardo Flores‑Ruiz was arrested in a targeted operation at the Milwaukee County Courthouse on April 18, 2025 and later removed from the United States; however DHS’s contemporaneous DHS/ICE press release (Nov. 14, 2025) says ICE removed him on November 13, 2025 while a DHS webpage published Feb. 6, 2026 incorrectly states November 14, 2025. Verdict: Close — the substance (arrest April 18, 2025 and subsequent removal) is correct, but the exact removal date is inconsistent in DHS materials (Nov. 13 in the Nov. 14, 2025 ICE release vs. Nov. 14 in the Feb. 6, 2026 page).
