Bizarre video showed him high up the tree as ICE agents waited below.

He was finally brought into custody after at least six hours up the tree.

Ical is facing federal criminal charges for illegal re-entry into the US after he was previously deported 12 years ago, according to ICE.

“Ical previously entered the United States unlawfully on March 27, 2013, and was subsequently removed to Guatemala on April 24, 2013,” ICE said in a statement.

It isn’t known exactly when he re-entered the US.
