Jairo Rossel Mejia-Mencia, a Honduran national and Bluffton resident, was arrested on May 29, 2026, at the Myrtle Park Government Center during a coordinated operation involving ICE, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, and the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office. He had entered the United States unlawfully, was previously removed, and re-entered the country, and faces a pending charge for unlawful possession of a firearm while remaining in ICE custody. Witnesses reported about 15 to 17 men were detained in the same operation, which later prompted a June 5 protest outside the government building by local residents and immigration advocates.
