United States Marshals Capture Methamphetamine Trafficker
and Mexico Homicide Suspect

Phoenix, AZ – The United States Marshals Service (USMS) High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Task Force arrested Diliberto Arce at a west Phoenix home last night. Arce, who is an undocumented alien, was wanted on federal violations in Kansas for methamphetamine trafficking and is also a suspect in a homicide case in Sinaloa, Mexico.

Task Force members tracked Arce to a house located at the 8700 block of West Devonshire. As Arce was observed leaving the residence, Task Force members converged and apprehended him without incident. During the arrest, stolen .45 caliber and 9mm handguns were recovered along with approximately two pounds of methamphetamine and five pounds of marijuana. Several fraudulent ID’s were also found with Arce’s picture on them.

Arce appeared to be manufacturing the meth in his kitchen, where bowls of the drug were found on the counter. Arce’s three children were living in the residence and were tested for exposure since the meth bowls were sitting next to food. The HIDTA Clandestine Lab investigation team responded to the residence to collect the drugs and to ensure the residence was free of possible biohazard issues.

Arce’s girlfriend, Yamin Torres-Renteria, was also arrested for being in the country illegally. She was turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.

“Fugitives from Mexico must realize they cannot hide in our country, and furthermore, continue their criminal activity while living in the United States”, says United States Marshal David Gonzales. “Mr. Arce was not only endangering his life, but the life of his family, neighbors and law enforcement officials.”

So Mexican criminal illegal aliens cannot hide in our country to continue their criminal activity? I guess that's true in one sense, in L.A. cops are forced to follow Special Order 40, prohibiting them from even approaching known criminal alien felons. These acumbags don't have to hide, they can walk around freely, safe from apprehension, thanks to idiotic ordinances like these. And what about all the other sanctuary cities? Places like Maywood, CA, where they ended all traffic violations and arrests of illegals? What a crock.
