ICE Deports Criminal Illegal Alien Convicted of Attempting to Murder Her Newborn Son
Release Date: May 5, 2026
She was deported after serving eight years in a New York prison for second-degree attempted murder of her one-day-old son
WASHINGTON –– The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials deported a Honduran illegal alien who had been convicted for trying to smother her one-day-old son with a pillow.
Soili Xiomara Aparicio-Santos, an illegal alien from Honduras, was convicted in 2018 of second-degree attempted murder, first and second-degree attempted assault, and endangering the welfare of a child. Despite being originally sentenced to 16 years in prison, she appealed and her sentence was reduced to 10 years. Local authorities cooperated with ICE and notified ICE law enforcement about her upcoming release.
ICE arrested Aparicio-Santos on April 7 and deported her on April 15.
“This monster attempted to KILL her own child the day he was born,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “The Obama administration released this attempted murderer into our country. Thanks to cooperation by law enforcement and our ICE officers, this barbaric criminal is out of our country. We need cooperation from state and local politicians to get criminals like this out of our country. Together, we can make America safe again.”
