The named individuals were arrested by ICE (and are subject to removal/processing as described).
Public records confirm that at least one of the five named individuals—Artemio Gabriel‑Perez—matches the conviction and location details given in the statement: Kentucky Department of Corrections records show "GABRIEL‑PEREZ, ARTEMIO" was convicted in Scott County of second‑degree rape (KRS 510.050) and possession of matter portraying a sexual performance by a minor, consistent with local reporting that the victim was as young as 11. However, those records do not mention his nationality or immigration status, and there is no independent documentation that ICE later arrested him. For the other four individuals (Julian Ramos‑Vicente; Panfilo Padilla‑Garcia; Muhammad Baloch; and Gabino Huerta‑Navarrete), the only sources tying their specific convictions and locations to ICE arrests are the DHS/ICE press release and media stories that simply repeat that government narrative. Readily accessible court or corrections databases do not yet provide corroborating conviction records that can be confidently matched to these exact individuals, and their immigration status and ICE custody are not independently verifiable. The proper verdict is Unclear because only part of the composite claim (Gabriel‑Perez’s conviction and county) can be validated with primary records, while the ICE arrest actions and the other named cases rely solely on government assertions without confirming external evidence.
