EL CAMPO, WHARTON COUNTY
On Friday, federal authorities apprehended a man in El Campo after an event on Wharton Street led law enforcement to a Roberts Street residence. DHS and ICE agents, attempting to execute an immigration warrant on 41-year-old Victor Reveles, pursued him when he fled on foot, abandoning his truck and trailer.
Reveles was later found inside a nearby home, triggering a coordinated response from local and federal officials. El Campo Police secured the area while agents obtained a warrant from a Houston federal judge. Upon approval, the operation proceeded.
Due to the incident’s location, Hutchins Elementary and El Campo High School gym were locked down until the school day ended, with police managing traffic and student dismissal for safety. DHS agents entered the home and detained Reveles without issue. Records indicated two prior deportations, active removal orders, and alleged ties to the Latin Kings linked to the warrant.
