One of the nearly 2 million “fugitives” who have crossed the U.S.-Mexico border since President Joe Biden took office in 2021 was found living in Rhode Island but facing murder charges in his native Honduras. This includes illegal immigrants wanted in the United States.
The Honduran national crossed the southern border for the first time in January 2021, but was immediately removed thanks to Title 42, a public health order that acts as a border control but has since been repealed by Biden.
In late 2021, the Honduran national managed to cross the border without being detected by Border Patrol agents. He was arrested in Central Falls, Rhode Island in June 2023 on a charge of felonious assault with a weapon and rearrested on February 4, 2024 for domestic violence.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials learned that the Honduran national was wanted in his home country on suspicion of murder. On February 7, an ICE detainer filed a complaint against him after he was arrested for domestic violence.
But a judge in Cranston, Rhode Island, ignored ICE detainees and released them into society. ICE agents arrested him in Warwick, Rhode Island, on February 27, and he remains in federal custody pending deportation.
“It is extremely concerning that this fugitive faces serious charges and that despite the presence of active immigration detainees who applied for his detention, he was released back into society by the court.” said ICE officer Todd Lyons. Said In a statement.
The Honduran national is among nearly 2 million known illegal alien fugitives who have eluded border security since President Biden took office, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). He reportedly succeeded in entering the United States.
Recently, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) sent Letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas regarding the surge in illegal alien fugitives entering the United States
“The number of these ‘fugitives’ exceeds the populations of Missouri’s two largest cities, Kansas City and St. Louis, combined,” Hawley wrote, adding that the number of illegal aliens who entered the United States in fiscal year 2023 He referred to the fact that the number of known fugitives reached 860,000.
“At the very least, you owe the American people full transparency about what your department knows about illegal immigrants who enter our country without being stopped or traced,” Hawley continued. .
