ERO New York removes Salvadoran national wanted for murder and attempted murder
NEW YORK – U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) removed a Salvadoran national Friday, wanted in his home country on aggravated murder and attempted aggravated murder charges. Oscar Anibal Benitez-Flores, 33, was removed from the United States via an ICE Air Operations Charter flight and transferred into the custody of Salvadoran law enforcement authorities.
“We continue to come in contact with criminal aliens seeking refuge in our communities, hiding here while their home country seeks justice for crimes committed,†said Thomas Decker, field office director for ERO New York. “The political rhetoric continues to blur the reality that ICE is enforcing this nation’s laws in the interest of public safety. This type of case is a prime example of the everyday work being done by ICE officers to remove those that circumvent our nation’s immigration laws, to hide from serious criminal charges in their home countries.â€
