Speaker Mike Johnson@SpeakerJohnsonOct 31, 2026A DHS primary source (Source 4) states that Juan Gomez Santiago, an illegal alien from Mexico arrested by ICE in Charleston, SC on October 9, has a criminal history including an arrest for second-degree domestic violence, matching the claim.
What we found
Supports. The DHS press release states Juan Gomez Santiago's criminal history includes an arrest for second-degree domestic violence.[1]
Context. The Daily Signal article repeats the DHS/White House framing that Gomez Santiago was arrested by ICE on Oct. 9 in Charleston with a prior arrest for second-degree domestic violence; it echoes rather than independently verifies the claim.[2]
Context. Other sources (a New York case against a 'Juan Gomez' and Florida and Louisiana records) involve different individuals or do not name the claimant, so they do not bear on this claim.[3][4][5][6]
