A Cook County court put him on probation at that point and gave a warning: more criminal conduct would make him qualified for deportation.
Rodriguez was arrested once more barely three weeks later on February 27 for misdemeanor violence in the Loop area despite the warning.
Records of the Chicago Police Department show he was arrested once more on April 4 on felony narcotics charges in the 200 block of North Wells and once more on April 7 for jumping a turnstile at a CTA station.
Rodriguez’s past of arrests combines misdemeanor and criminal crimes. Shortly after President Trump signed the Laken Riley Act, honoring a Georgia nursing student killed by an illegal immigrant, his imprisonment follows.
The statute requires federal imprisonment of illegal immigrants accused of major offenses like theft, burglary, attacking law officers, and acts causing either significant damage or death.
CPD records show that Rodriguez was regularly released from custody before to a trial, including following offenses involving narcotics, attempted robbery, and assault.
