Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have worked against heavy odds to rid the U.S. of criminal illegal aliens.
Last week in Texas, they bagged another one.
According to a news release, on April 13, ICE lodged an immigration detainer with the Harris County Jail on 19-year-old Josue Abraham Chirino-Leonice, a Venezuelan illegal immigrant arrested on charges that he allegedly used a sledgehammer to bludgeon a co-worker to death.
Gabriel Martinez, ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations Houston acting Field Office Director, described the suspect as a beneficiary of former President Joe Biden’s open border policies.
“This 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,” Martinez said.
