Colombian illegal released by ICE after claiming he had never been arrested before
An illegal alien who was convicted of murder in Colombia before being released into the United States by the Biden regime was arrested by immigration authorities in Connecticut.
On Thursday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the apprehension of a 44-year-old Colombian male by Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) agents in Hartford earlier this month.
The Colombian was initially encountered by Border Patrol agents after he illegally entered the U.S. near San Ysidro, California, on September 30, 2022.
He told officials he had never been arrested for any reason in the U.S. or in his home country.
“The Colombian noncitizen was issued a notice to appear before a Department of Justice immigration judge and transferred into the custody of ERO Boston Oct. 6, 2022,” ICE explained in a press release.
“ERO Boston released him on interim parole through the Alternatives to Detention program Nov. 10, 2022.”
Nearly a year later, ICE learned the illegal had been convicted of premeditated murder in Colombia in 2014 and sentenced to more than 4 years in prison.
After obtaining that information on November 7, 2023, authorities took another 3 months to confirm its veracity, and an additional 2 months to finally track the Colombian down on April 3, 2024.
It is unclear if or when he will be removed from the U.S.
“This Colombian national lied to immigration officials about his violent past in order to gain entrance into the United States,” ERO Boston Field Office Director Todd M. Lyons said in a statement.
“We cannot allow convicted murderers to roam freely in our New England neighborhoods. ERO Boston will continue to prioritize public safety by apprehending and removing the most egregious noncitizen offenders from our communities.”
