Republican Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer ripped Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ “inaction” on visa vetting following one of the county’s most recent burglaries by Chilean migrants.
The Orange County District Attorney’s Office released a statement Friday addressing two Chilean nationals identified as Jorge Navarretecorvalan, 32, and Alejandro Tobarfuentes, 32 who were arrested in the San Juan Capistrano area and “charged in connection with a head-on collision while driving the wrong way on the freeway while being pursued by law enforcement after burglarizing” a home. The two men had notably been allowed into the U.S. on an Electronic System for Travel Authorization System (ESTAS) visa waiver from the Department of Homeland Security.
“Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has the power to immediately and unilaterally suspend Chile from the ESTA visa waiver program until it complies with the requirement to provide criminal background checks for their citizens,” Spitzer said in the press release.
