Tennessee Conservative News [By Olivia Lupia] –
Numerous illegal aliens in Davidson and Knox Counties have been recently arrested on charges including felony rape, domestic assault, child endangerment, possession of meth, and a host of other offenses.
Davidson County law enforcement arrested the following illegal aliens:
Notably, all offenders below were listed as “White” in the booking logs. While mugshots were not available to confirm the racial designations for Davidson County, it is unlikely the detainees were all correctly labeled based on their names, ICE detainers indicating they are not in the U.S. legally, and previous detention patterns/records.
27-year-old Leomar Perez-Valencia- arrested June 11
- Perez-Valencia was arrested on three charges: aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, domestic assault/provocative conduct, and aggravated child endangerment to a child younger than 8 or disabled. The domestic charge is a misdemeanor while the other two are felonies, and bond is $102,500.
22-year-old Adolfo Antonio Hernandez-Cortez- arrested June 11
- Hernandez-Cortez was charged with felony statutory rape and booked with a $25,000 bond. His prior criminal record shows he was also arrested for driving without a license in May of 2024, but the case was dismissed and closed in August 2024 after a settlement appearance before a judge.
52-year-old Pedro Villegas Salinas- arrested June 12
- Salinas faces three charges, two felonies and one misdemeanor: hold/use of altered or false document/plate, possession with intent of .5 grams or more of meth, and no driver’s license.

Salinas’ criminal record spans back to 1999 with arrests or convictions for charges including DUI in 1999, not having a license in 2006, and no license, DUI, and implied consent for not submitting to a blood/breath test in 2008.

His total bond shows $7,000. Castillo faced nearly identical charges in 2024, but records show that while he was arrested for DUI, no evidence of insurance, and no driver’s license, he was only convicted of the DUI, and the other two charges were dismissed.

Inmate records show all these individuals from both Davidson and Knox Counties currently have immigrant detainers and will remain in custody until released to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. An ICE hold most likely means they are in the country illegally.
