According to DHS, Nemiro entered the United States on a visa in October 2011 but remained in the country after it expired in August 2012. The agency said his criminal history includes convictions for aggravated assault of a non-family member with a gun and disorderly conduct.
DHS also said he has been arrested on charges of battery, sexual battery, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
"This illegal alien from Latvia may have once had a career as a professional dancer on TV, but has turned into a career criminal with a rap sheet that includes aggravated assault with a gun, sexual battery, and drug possession," DHS Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said in a statement.
"Despite California being a sanctuary state, ICE was able to arrest this criminal and get him off our streets, and he will soon be deported from our country. ICE is bringing the curtain down on his illegal stay and crime spree here in the U.S.," Bis added.
The arrest comes as the Trump administration continues to highlight immigration enforcement efforts involving noncitizens accused or convicted of violent crimes while criticizing California's sanctuary policies.
In Friday's release, DHS cited several recent cases involving illegal immigrants arrested or sought by ICE in California and argued that the state's sanctuary policies have hindered federal immigration enforcement.
A representative for ICE did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for additional information.
