INDIANA, JUL 8 – Jonny Handy Martinez-Barillas, charged with first-degree murder and firearm possession, was arrested after Maryland police ignored an ICE detainer, officials said.

  • U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested a high-ranking MS-13 gang member in Omaha on July 9, 2025, during a targeted enforcement action.
  • The arrest occurred after receiving a tip and conducting a Homeland Security operation targeting illegal immigrant gang members who had established themselves in the Omaha region and were considered a significant danger to public safety.
  • The man, wanted in El Salvador for the murder of five people and other crimes, was apprehended alongside 30-year-old MS-13 associate Rene Saul Escobar Ochoa.
  • The acting head of ICE emphasized the importance of the public refraining from interference during arrests, highlighting that ICE officers safeguard communities even when potential threats are not apparent, and cautioned that false information could lead to dangerous confrontations.
  • The arrests highlight ongoing investigations by ICE, HSI, and other agencies to address embedded gang members illegally residing and threatening community safety in Omaha.
