ICE arrests over a dozen people after teen killed at Virginia quinceañera

ICE arrested more than a dozen people who were found to be unlawfully present in the U.S. after responding to a request for assistance from the Fauquier County Sheriff's Office following the fatal shooting of 16-year-old Samuel Ojeda at a quinceañera. The sheriff's office said it asked local and federal law enforcement for backup to manage a crowd of more than 100 people so deputies could focus on the homicide investigation. ICE said some of those arrested had prior charges or convictions including illegal reentry, identity theft, and driving under the influence.
