President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released into the United States a convicted murderer who showed up at the southern border after lying to Border Patrol agents about his criminal record.
September 30, 2022, Border Patrol Agent arrested A 44-year-old illegal alien from Colombia near San Ysidro, California, died after crossing a port of entry. The illegal alien told investigators he had never been arrested by law enforcement in his native Colombia or the United States.
In fact, the illegal immigrant was found guilty of premeditated murder in Colombia in April 2016 and sentenced to four years and four months in prison.
After lying to Border Patrol agents, the illegal alien was given a Notice to Appear (NTA) by a federal immigration judge and turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody on October 6, 2022.
ICE officials subsequently released the illegal alien from custody on November 10, 2022, on interim parole through the Alternatives to Detention (ATD) program. One year later, on November 7, 2023, ICE officials learned that the illegal alien had been convicted of premeditated murder in his home country.
In February, the Colombian government approved a murder conviction against ICE, and on April 3, ICE agents arrested an illegal alien in Hartford, Connecticut.
“This Colombian man lied to immigration officials about his violent past in order to gain admission to the United States,” ICE’s Todd Lyons said in a statement. “We cannot allow a convicted murderer to roam freely in New England neighborhoods.”
The illegal alien is in ICE custody while awaiting deportation from the United States.
