ICE has arrested Luis Miguel Gonzalez-Castillo and identifies him as convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child in Harris County, Texas.

Source summary
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced arrests on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day of multiple noncitizens it describes as the “worst of the worst,” including individuals convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child, murder, attempted murder, fraud, and other serious crimes. The release names ten people, lists their countries of origin and the counties/states of conviction, and quotes Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin praising law enforcement for enhancing community safety.
Latest fact check

Available public records indicate that a person with a very similar name, Luis Mario Gonzalez‑Castillo, is a wanted fugitive in the Houston area for aggravated sexual assault of a child under 14, based on a Crime Stoppers/Houston Police Department bulletin, but that bulletin lists him as wanted, not convicted, and does not mention any ICE arrest. I was unable to locate independent, primary court or jail records from Harris County or the State of Texas confirming that a "Luis Miguel (or Mario) Gonzalez‑Castillo" has in fact been convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child, nor any official ICE arrest record beyond the cited DHS press release. The evidence is therefore insufficient and partially contradictory (wanted vs. convicted) to conclusively verify the claim as of now. The verdict is Unclear because the only support for the specific wording (ICE arrest and conviction) is the DHS press release itself, while independent law-enforcement and public-record sources currently show the individual as a wanted fugitive rather than a convicted offender, and no accessible primary court documentation confirms a conviction.
