HOUSTON, TX- Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)has filed an immigration detainer against an illegal alien released into the country by the Biden administration who is now accused of beating a co-worker to death with a sledgehammer.
In a news release, ICE announced that the detainer was filed with the Harris County Jail on April 13 on Josue Abraham Chirino-Leonice, 19, a Venezuelan national, who was arrested in Pasadena, Texas, on April 12 after he was caught driving around in the victim’s vehicle.
“The criminal illegal alien–who never should have been allowed into the country in the first place–is accused of savagely beating a co-worker to death with a sledgehammer and leaving him to die in a house they were renovating together,” ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations Houston acting Field Office Director Gabriel Martinez said.
“Our officers are working tirelessly to restore integrity to our nation’s immigration system to bring an end to the carnage and unnecessary suffering in this country that’s caused by criminal illegal aliens, and we won’t rest until we’ve accomplished that mission.”
The Border Patrol initially arrested Chirino Leonice in November 2023, however as with most illegal aliens caught under the previous administration, he was released into the country.
“The Trump administration is committed to restoring common sense and sanity to our nation’s immigration system,” the release said.
“Under President Donald J. Trump and Secretary Markwayne Mullin, the Department of Homeland Security will not gamble with the safety of Americans and our national security–as previous administrations have done–by allowing murderers, child rapists, gang members, and other dangerous criminal illegal aliens to remain in our communities unvetted and unchecked.”
Upon getting inaugurated for his second term, the president issued two executive orders–Protecting the American People from Invasion and Protecting the United States from Foreign Terrorists and Other National Security and Public Safety Threats.
“[t]hat empowered ICE officers to once again enforce our nation’s immigration laws without political interference and aggressively target criminal illegal aliens like Chirino-Leonice,” the release continued.
