In March, Haitian illegal immigrant Jean Robert Macean was
arrested for the stabbing death of a married couple in Florida. They were
riding their bikes for a Bike Week event when they were killed. He was later
deemed incompetent to stand trial.
In July, Kayla Hamilton, who was autistic, was raped and
killed in her mobile home. Police eventually arrested an El Salvadoran
17-year-old who authorities said is linked to the MS-13 street gang and who was
released into the U.S. into the custody of his aunt after being encountered at
the border. An interim staff Judiciary Committee report released
in 2023 faulted the Biden administration for a failure to vet the suspect,
calling it a "tragic example of the failure to enforce U.S. immigration
law."
The same month, Gerson Fuentes – a Guatemalan illegal
immigrant – was arrested for the rape of a child. The victim, who was 9 when
the attack happened, confirmed that he attacked her. The case sparked national
attention after it was highlighted by an Indianapolis doctor that the victim
traveled to Indiana to have the abortion due to Ohio’s limitations on abortion.
In August, two Mexican illegal immigrants were charged with the murder of a
North Carolina sheriff's deputy. Alder Alfonso Marin Sotelo and Arturo Marin
Sotelo are charged with the murder of Wake County K9 Deputy Ned Byrd, who was
shot and killed on Aug. 11 when patrolling a neighborhood in response to
multiple 911 calls. ICE told Fox News Digital that the brothers had both
entered the U.S. illegally "on an unknown date, at an unknown
place" that was not a port of entry – meaning they likely evaded Border
Patrol agents.
Arturo Marin Sotelo had been encountered by Border Patrol
agents near Naco, Arizona, in June 2010 and had been deported to Mexico via
voluntary return through Tucson, Arizona. However, he later re-entered the
country.
In October, a Guatemalan illegal immigrant was arrested for the stabbing of
eight people on a sidewalk in Las Vegas, killing two of them. Yoni Barrios
allegedly began his rampage after a group of showgirls refused to take a
picture with him. He reportedly used what authorities described as a
"large knife with a long blade" and began attacking when
they rebuffed him.

In April, Salvadoran national Carlos Dominguez was charged
with stabbing two men to death in California, two days apart. In May, he
stabbed a homeless woman multiple times, but she survived. He had entered the
U.S. in 2009 as an unaccompanied minor.
The same month in Texas, Mexican and multiple deportee Francsico Oropesa Perez-Torrez accused of entering his
neighbor's home before midnight and shooting five people dead, including a
third-grade boy. Others in the household had asked Oropesa to stop firing a
rifle in his yard that late because a 1-month-old baby was trying to sleep. A
source with the Department
of Homeland Security told Fox News that Oropesa had been deported five
times between 2009-2016.
In May, Jose Roberto Hernandez-Espinal – a Salvadoran
illegal immigrant – was arrested for allegedly raping a woman and a 15-year-old
girl. He had reportedly entered the U.S. in 2013. Court documents allege that
Hernandez-Espinal pointed a machete at a woman's back and led her to a secluded
part of the woods before raping her.
In June, police in Virginia arrested a Honduran national for
breaking into an apartment and attempting to abduct a 4-year-old girl, Fox 5 reported. He had reportedly entered the U.S.
illegally in 2018, and ICE had filed multiple detainers against him in 2021 and
2022, but they have not been honored in the sanctuary county in which he lived.
In August, a Venezuelan migrant was accused of raping a
woman in front a 3-year-old in Erie County, New York. Prosecutors say the
suspect and victim knew each other, and the alleged crime is said to have
occurred in front of their 3-year-old child, who was also present in the hotel
room.
In Texas, in September, Mexican national Juan Vicente Zavala Lopez allegedly shot a police
officer in a car chase after killing his roommate. Zavala Lopez is said to have
a lengthy criminal history, has been deported nine times before and spent 18
months in a Texas state prison in addition to facing charges in California.
In December, 16-year-old high school cheerleader Lizbeth Medina was stabbed to death in her apartment
in Jackson County, Texas, allegedly by Mexican national Rafael Govea Romero, a
visa overstayer who was on probation for burglary.
Meanwhile, in Colorado, a Salvadoran illegal immigrant who
had been deported four times between 2009 and 2015 was arrested after allegedly
killing a mother and her son in a car crash that police say involved
alcohol. Jose Guadalupe Menjivar-Alaswas first convicted of DWI on Aug. 4,
2007, and received subsequent convictions for the same offense on Dec. 7, 2016,
and May 7, 2019. He was also convicted of driving with alcohol on Sept. 16,
2007.
Also in December, Jose Santiago Chairez was arrested for the
shooting death of two sisters in their home in Dallas, Texas, while he also
allegedly shot his daughter during the same incident. Chairez allegedly shot
sisters Catalina Valdez Andrade, 47, and Merced Andrade Bailon, 43, in the head
inside their home and shot his daughter in the arm.

In January, Alonzo Pierre Mingo, a former ICE detainee was
charged with three counts of second-degree murder, with intent, for the
killings inside a suburban Minneapolis house, where he reportedly used his
seasonal UPS uniform to pose as a worker to gain access along with two
accomplices. Police said the shooting was a drug-related incident and
occurred as two children under the age of 5 looked on.
"The older child can be seen entering the bedroom
shortly thereafter, crying hysterically," police said in a probable cause
statement. "Another subsequent video shows the younger child enter the
bedroom to check out the female until the older child pulls the younger child
away from the deceased female’s body and out of the room."
Meanwhile, in New York City, a police officer was brutally
beaten by a mob of illegal immigrants – as authorities were dealing with a
flood of primarily Venezuelan migrants into the sanctuary city. Some of them
fled the city, while Jhoan Boada, 22, was arrested later and then released
before flipping
the bird to waiting reporters.
In February, Augusta University nursing student Laken Riley
was beaten to death, allegedly by a Venezuelan illegal immigrant, while she was
out for a jog on the University of Georgia campus. The suspect, Jose Ibarra,
was encountered by the U.S. Border Patrol in September 2022 and released on
parole into the U.S. He would travel to New York City and be charged with child
endangerment and driving crime. ICE said he was released before they could
issue a detainer. Months later, he would be accused in the death of
Riley.
The same month as Riley’s death, Honduran
national Angel Matias Castellanos-Orellana was arrested in Kenner,
Louisiana for allegedly raping a 14-year-old girl at knifepoint in a park and
stabbing another man during a robbery. Police warned that they are often
hindered from dealing with illegal immigrants due to the lack of identifiers
and use of aliases. Castellanos-Orellana had reportedly entered the U.S. via
Eagle Pass, Texas, in 2023, at a time when the state was dealing with a massive
surge in migration.
Also in February, Nilson Trejo-Granados was arrested and
charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of a 2-year-old child
in Maryland. Police said he was caught in a shootout between two
gangs. Trejo-Granados is not accused of firing the weapon that killed the
victim, but he is alleged to have been in a car with a group of people
connected to the shootout.
In July, two illegal immigrants were arrested on capital murder
charges in the death of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray in Houston, Texas. Jocelyn
left her family's home to grab a late night soda when police say the men, Johan
Jose Rangel Martinez and Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, led her out of a convenience
store. The men are accused of luring her under a bridge, tying her up and
killing her before throwing her body into a river. Officials confirmed they
were in the country illegally and had arrived that year, but were released on
orders of recognizance pending their immigration court hearings.
In August, David Davon-Bonilla was accused of attacking
a 46-year-old woman in Brooklyn's famed Coney Island, forcibly
raping her at knifepoint alongside an accomplice.
The same month, authorities confirmed the arrest of an
illegal immigrant boyfriend of a Virginia mother who was arrested after her two
young sons were found chained to a post by their ankles. Wendi Del Cid
Rodriguez and Franklin Arquimedes Viera-Guevara allegedly told investigators
they would chain the boys at their ankles for short periods of time to
"scare them" so they would not leave the home.
ICE confirmed to Fox that the suspect is a Salvadoran
illegal immigrant previously deported in 2019, but he reentered as a
"gotaway."
In September, ICE announced the arrest of a number of illegal immigrant criminals from Martha’s Vineyard.
Among those arrested in late August was 24-year-old Brazilian illegal immigrant
Warley Neto. Neto, who illegally entered the United States through the Paso Del
Norte border region of Texas and Mexico in 2018, is facing five counts of
raping a Massachusetts minor.
Sept 2, 2023 Arrested Six Times in First Six Months
Daniel Hernandez Martinez, 29, crossed the border in to the US without legal papers and is making himself at home in the Big Apple. He arrived on June 27, 2023 and allegedly committed his first crime on June 28.
In his first two months, Martinez has been arrested at least six times on 14 different charges. The charges include randomly attacking at least three strangers and two police officers.. His alleged crime spree includes:
- June 28- Petty larceny at a Cosco.
- July 6- Shoplifting at a Duane Reade in Columbus Circle in Manhattan where he pulled a knife on an undercover officer.
- July 31- Martinez attacked a man out of the blue with a bike tire in front of the Row Hotel.
- August 21- He violently attacked a woman in Midtown grabbing her by the hair and dragging her across the floor before kicking her and smashing her phone.
- August 24- He threatened a stranger with a weapon and was arrested for menacing.
- August 28- He was arrested again for using a large metal pipe to break locks to steal bicycles in Times Square.
Additionally, when he requested medical attention after the most recent incident, he assaulted a police officer at Beth Israel Hospital who was trying to change his handcuffs.
In a bail application on Martinez, Assistant District Attorney Jared Hotchkiss wrote that he “has been arrested five times in less than two months for charges of harm nearly every time.” Although prosecutors requested a $10,000 bail, with a $10,000 bond for the assault case on a police officer charge, the judge set bail at $5,000.
