State and federal immigration officers arrested a criminal illegal alien and MS-13 gang member in a captured-on-camera takedown.

Luis Merary Peralta-Sevilla, a criminal illegal alien and MS-13 gang member from Honduras, was arrested in an operation conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office and the Florida Highway Patrol on April 14.

In the video shared exclusively with Fox News by ICE, officers are seen apprehending and arresting the Honduran national.

After Peralta was in handcuffs, officers are seen circling the truck he was driving. Authorities said that they found "some minor narcotics."

Florida police, ICE said, also seized Peralta's vehicle due to violations related to driving without a valid license.

Peralta-Sevilla first illegally entered the United States in July 2013. U.S. Border Patrol agents encountered him in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas, where he admitted he is a citizen and national of Honduras and acknowledged he was in the country illegally. A Justice Department immigration judge granted him bond, and he remained in the United States pending removal proceedings.
