San Diego Border Patrol Captures Two Mexican Fugitives Wanted for Murder, Child Sex Crimes

SAN DIEGO, CA - Two fugitive illegal aliens from Mexico were reportedly apprehended by Border Patrol agents out of the San Diego Sector in February and March, with Homeland Security highlighting in a press release that the two individuals apprehended are both wanted back in Mexico: one for murder and one for child sex crimes.

On February 26th, San Diego Sector Border Patrol agents were reportedly conducting a surveillance operation in Anaheim targeting Silvia Del Rosario Torres-Castro, a woman wanted for murder back in Mexico. According to officials, Torres-Castro had illegally entered the United States back in December of 2023 under the Biden administration.

Torres-Castro was reportedly taken into custody by Border Patrol agents without incident during the February 26 operation and handed over to Mexico’s Fiscalía General de la República (FGR) following administrative processing stateside.

In a separate surveillance operation conducted on March 6, San Diego Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended Salvador Suazo-Garcia, an alleged child predator, without incident in Lemon Grove. Suazo-Garcia had reportedly entered the United States legally back in May of 2021, but subsequently had his visa revoked due to being accused of lewd and lascivious acts against a child back in Mexico. Following an administrative processing stateside, Suazo-Garcia was handed over to Mexico’s FGR.

Homeland Security Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis issued a statement regarding the apprehension of the two Mexican fugitives, laying blame on the prior administration for allowing said fugitives “to roam American streets and make our communities less safe.”

“These are the types of illegal aliens the media categorizes as ‘non-criminal’ illegal aliens because they lack a rap sheet in the U.S.,” Assistant Secretary Bis emphasized, further adding, “Nearly 70% of illegal aliens ICE arrested across the country have criminal convictions or pending criminal charges in the U.S. This statistic doesn’t even account for those wanted for violent crimes in their home country or another country.”
