U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement lodged detainers against three migrants from Venezuela who have been charged with capital murder in Texas.
Yosguar Aponte-Jimenez, Jose Trivino-Cruz and Jesus Bellorin-Guzman allegedly were involved in the June 20 shooting death of 48-year-old Santiago Lopez Morales at a Motel 6 in Garland, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
“Three depraved criminal illegal aliens from Venezuela were released into the U.S. under the Biden administration and are now facing capital murder and robbery charges for shooting and killing a man at a motel in Dallas County, Texas,” Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement provided to Fox News.
“Thanks to the brave men and women of ICE law enforcement, these criminal illegal aliens’ crime spree is OVER. These vicious criminals have no place in the U.S. ICE has lodged a detainer to ensure they are removed from our country after they face justice for their heinous crimes,” she added.
The DHS, citing local media reports, said investigators linked the June 20 shooting to an aggravated robbery at a Deluxe Inn located about a mile away from the Motel 6.
“A woman there reported two Hispanic men forced their way into her room, held her at gunpoint, sexually assaulted her, and stole cash, jewelry, and her ID before fleeing,” the DHS said.
“These criminal illegal aliens admitted to targeting sex workers, believing they were less likely to report crimes,” it added. “Jimenez confessed to over 25 robberies. Trivino-Cruz admitted to two additional robberies that day.”
