ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT WANTED FOR MURDER DEPORTED FROM US FOR THIRD TIME

HOUSTON, Texas--U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deported an illegal immigrant from Mexico on Tuesday. The man, 39-year-old Osbaldo Carrillo-Peralta, is wanted in his home country for murder--a warrant for his arrest was issued in Mexico in April 2011.

Carrillo-Peralta was previously arrested in Dallas in 1998 after firing a gun at several people, according to an ICE press release. After spending time in a U.S. federal prison, the Mexican national was deported back to his home country in 2002.

But Carrillo-Peralta re-entered the U.S. illegally.

In 2009, he was arrested in San Antonio for possessing an illegal drug. After serving prison time again, Carrillo-Peralta was deported a second time, according to ICE.

Several years later he entered the U.S. illegally yet again. Subsequent to being arrested--this time in Mercer County--the foreign national was convicted for illegal re-entry, a crime that can result in 20 years behind bars. Once Carrillo-Peralta was identified as a wanted individual in Mexico, he was deported. It appeared that he had fled to the U.S. to avoid conviction.

Enrique M. Lucero of San Antonio's Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) reportedly said of Carrillo-Peralta's deportation, "The arrest and removal of criminal aliens is at the absolute core of what we do. ICE uses its unique immigration enforcement authorities to safeguard our communities from criminal aliens and others who pose a public safety threat."

According to ICE, the ERO has "removed more than 721 foreign fugitives from the United State" since October 2009.
While this figure may sound impressive, a far greater number of convicted illegal immigrants continue to be set free by authorities. Breitbart Texas previously reported that more than 36,000 convicted criminal illegal immigrants were released onto U.S. soil in 2013 alone. These convictions include 426 sexual assaults, 303 kidnappings, 193 homicides, 1,317 domestic violence assaults, and 1,724 weapon offenses.

Additionally, deportations have decreased over 40 percent since 2009 due to the Obama Administration using "prosecutorial discretion" for many cases. It is easy to imagine that this practice had allowed the U.S. to become less safe in recent years, due to undocumented criminals who may no longer fear being deported.
