Five Illegals Wanted for Murder Arrested in Texas

Federal immigration authorities arrested five illegal aliens wanted for murder in less than two weeks in Texas.

The troubling slew of apprehensions were carried out between May 23 and June 7 by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) offices in Houston and Waco.

On May 23, a 38-year-old Honduran illegal wanted for multiple murders in Mexico was caught in Galveston by ERO Houston officers.

The Honduran allegedly killed two gang members “during a botched attempt to highjack a shipment of illicit narcotics,” ICE explained in a press release.

On May 24, a 21-year-old Mexican illegal was arrested in Splendora by ERO Houston officers working with local police.

He is wanted for homicide in Veracruz, Mexico.

On June 3, a 42-year-old Honduran was apprehended in Houston by ERO agents.

He is wanted for murder in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.

On June 4, a 41-year-old Mexican who was previously deported was caught in Waco where he was illegal residing.

He is wanted for homicide in Durango, Mexico.

On June 7, a 40-year-old Mexican was arrested in Splendora by ERO Houston officers working with local police.

The “three-time voluntarily returned Mexican national” is wanted for murder in San Luis Potosi, Mexico.

“In one case, they were able to successfully locate and arrest an unlawfully present murder fugitive in just seven hours, which is almost unheard of given all of the logistical hurdles and surveillance needed to safely take a dangerous fugitive like that into custody,” ERO Houston Field Office Director Bret A. Bradford said in a statement regarding the busts.

Authorities continue to catch dangerous foreign criminals illegally present in the U.S.
