WASHINGTON — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged a detainer for criminal illegal alien, Jose Javier Coronado-Meza, 25, of Venezuela, who has been charged in the brutal, execution-style murder of 31-year-old Gregori Arias in Cook County, Illinois.
Arias was murdered in Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood June 22.
Jose Javier Coronado-Meza
ICE lodged an arrest detainer with the Cook County Jail to ensure he is not released into American neighborhoods. Unfortunately, Governor Pritzker’s Illinois is a sanctuary state that does not cooperate with ICE.
Coronado-Meza is accused of shooting Arias in the head, execution-style. After the murder, Coronado-Meza and his associates attempted to cover up the crime by transporting Arias’ body to a construction site, where they planned to bury his remains in concrete. After the killing, Coronado-Meza allegedly bragged about his involvement in the murder.
