Ice agents arrest another criminal immigrant outside SLO County courthouse

August 13, 2025

By KAREN VELIE

Amid false rumors of Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in San Luis Obispo County, agents detained a second undocumented immigrant with a violent criminal history outside the county courthouse in SLO.

Following a July 31 hearing over a probation violation, Omar Catalan Estrada was leaving the courthouse when two plain-clothed ICE agents arrested, cuffed and removed him in a black SUV. The agents then transported Estrada to a temporary holding center in Santa Maria.

Both Estrada and his pregnant girlfriend are undocumented immigrants.

Born in Mexico, Estrada illegally entered the United States four years ago. Since then, he has been arrested three times and is now required to register as a sex offender.

On Feb. 12, 2023, while in a bar in SLO, Estrada restrained and grabbed the breast of a woman he wanted to go home with him, leaving bruises. He was later charged with sexual battery and for stealing the woman’s personal property, according to court records.

On Nov. 12, 2023, officers arrested Estrada for driving under the influence.

On Feb. 12, 2024, Estrada attempted to rape an unconscious woman.

Estrada pleaded guilty in all three cases on June 26, 2024 and was sentenced to one year and five months in jail and five years probation. He was released on probation in Jan. 2025.

A law enforcement officer arrested Estrada on June 13, 2025 for a probation violation, giving a false name to law enforcement. On July 31, the court reinstated his probation and he was released from custody.

As he left the courthouse, immigration officers arrested Estrada.

Sbjcl and everyone reminder California law states: California Values Act (SB 54) which prohibits sheriffs and police departments from using resources to aid immigration enforcement. In other words its against the law for local law enforcement to contact ICE…. it’s BS.

That’s Dan Dow in action for you. People in this county really like his style and his stance on crime because he’s always running unopposed. If we didn’t want him and his leadership, he’d be out of a job.

What happened to the undocumented pregnant girlfriend?

Glad the feds are keeping us safe from such creeps; obviously the state justice system has no interest in doing so. Served 6 months of an 18 month sentence, made parole, violated parole, and parole was reinstated? Courts ain’t even freakin trying…


65

If he was in the court house for the crimes he committed then WHY was he even LEAVING instead of being sent straight to jail?


64

Revolving door.

Good news! This is exactly the actions that should happen to illegal immigrants and what the majority of people in the United States voted for. This should’ve happened when he committed his first crimes. Thank you ICE and DJT.

Only a third of people voted for that clown( one third dint vote at all, the other didnt vote enough ). Regardless; big money won that election and maga is willfully blind to it.

Bigger money lost that election. Harris had an impressive debt to cover.

You mean the DJT that is scared to release the Epstein list because of…reasons?


-15

Why he wasn’t deported when he committed the FIRST crime?


131

Because the Ds needed him as a voter.


51

Uh, the previous admin. did not enforce the laws on the books.


Thanks to DJT, Pam, Kash and the rest of the crew, the laws are being enforced and these illegall immigrants are getting deported.


I’m glad to see it happening locally!!! I can’t wait to hear about more ICE captures here in SLO county!!!!

Being in the country without paperwork is an infraction, not an immediate deportation sentence. There are a lot of good, hard working people that aren’t documented.


-78

Nope. 18 USC 1325 says it’s a misdemeanor or a felony depending on factors including but not limited to, is it the first time…etc. punishable by up to two years in prison.


Traffic tickets are infractions.


37

What do you think would happen if an American citizen committed these crimes while in Mexico or other country illegally?


24

Nope. They are all criminals. International Criminal Trespassers.

We have enough home grown perverts. We do not need to import them. Thanks to ICE for upholding the law and making women safer!
