ICE HSI has arrested and taken Yorvis Michel Carrascal Campo into custody in Colorado Springs.
The Department of Homeland Security press release explicitly states that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) “arrested this gang member in Colorado Springs, CO on January 8, 2026,” referring to Yorvis Michel Carrascal Campo. Multiple local Colorado Springs outlets (KKTV, KOAA, KRDO, and the Colorado Springs Gazette) all report that Homeland Security Investigations agents, assisted by Colorado Springs police, located and arrested Yorvis Carrascal-Campo in a southeast Colorado Springs neighborhood following a shelter‑in‑place order on Wednesday, January 7, 2026. Those local reports describe the arrest operation occurring around midday on January 7, with the suspect found in a backyard shed and taken into custody that afternoon. Given that contemporaneous local reporting consistently dates the arrest to January 7, while the DHS release says January 8, the claim about the arrest location (Colorado Springs) and agency (HSI/ICE) is accurate, but the specific date of January 8, 2026 is likely off by one day.
The verdict is Close because the core facts—that HSI/ICE arrested Yorvis Michel Carrascal Campo in Colorado Springs—are supported by multiple sources, but the precise arrest date in the statement appears to be incorrect by one day compared with consistent local reporting of a January 7, 2026 arrest.
