The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has disclosed that the former Biden administration allowed illegal immigrants to remain in the United States.
According to reports, a 25-year-old illegal immigrant from Venezuela, Jose Javier Coronado Meza, was arrested in Chicago and charged with the murder of 31-year-old Gregory Arias. It is alleged that he concealed Arias’s body in concrete at an undisclosed construction site.
Officials from DHS indicated that Coronado Meza should have faced deportation but was instead released from federal custody under the Biden administration.
“The criminal who fell through the cracks—Jose Javier Coronado Meza—should never have been in our country; yet, the Biden administration let him wander freely on American streets,” commented DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin.
Surveillance – A high number of deportations:
“Despite receiving a final removal order from an immigration judge, the Biden administration chose to release him into our country,” McLaughlin added. “We will not let sanctuary policies jeopardize American lives.”
Specifically, Coronado Meza entered the U.S. at the Texas-Mexico border near Laredo in September 2023 during a peak period of illegal immigration. After being apprehended, he was initially deported by Border Patrol.
A month later, he managed to cross the border again. Following this, he was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and spent over 160 days at the Stewart Detention Center in Georgia.

In December 2023, a federal immigration judge issued a deportation order for him, but the Biden administration released Coronado Meza from ICE custody in April 2024.
As of now, Coronado Meza is being held at Cook County Jail. ICE agents have submitted requests regarding illegal immigrants, but Chicago’s strict Sanctuary City Act could complicate the enforcement of those requests.
