U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Virginia State Police have announced the arrest of 38-year-old Dominican national Alis Deyvi Goris-Andujar in North Chesterfield, Virginia, on November 11, 2025. The arrest was made on allegations of selling cocaine from a local barbershop.
According to ICE, Enforcement and Removal Operations officers in Washington, D.C., collaborated with Homeland Security Investigations and the Virginia State Police to apprehend Goris-Andujar. The suspect reportedly attempted to flee on foot before being detained. A search of his residence revealed an AR-type rifle, a pistol with high-capacity magazines, and ammunition. Goris-Andujar has been processed for immigration violations and remains in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.
ICE reported over 190,000 administrative arrests in fiscal year 2024, marking a 15% increase from the previous year. This includes more than 70,000 individuals with prior criminal convictions. Of those arrested, approximately 10,000 were linked to drug-related offenses. This data underscores ICE’s ongoing focus on apprehending illegal aliens involved in narcotics trafficking and violent crime to protect U.S. communities.

An increasing number of distribution networks have been traced to foreign nationals operating within local communities. Law enforcement agencies across Virginia have intensified cooperation with federal partners to combat narcotics trafficking tied to organized crime and illegal immigration.
