Panamanian murderer caught in D.C., lived off federal subsidies

A Panamanian murderer who escaped a prison in the Central American country has been captured in the District, where authorities say he used a fake Social Security card to obtain federally subsidized housing and cruised around town in three luxury cars.

The FBI was led to 36-year-old Juan Barrera by an anonymous caller who claimed Barrera was planning to fire a rocket launcher at a Metro train, according to an affidavit recently filed in Greenbelt's federal court.

The tip began an around-the-clock investigation, the affidavit said. The FBI staked out Barrera's third-floor apartment at 1405 Montana Ave. NE, for two days in late January before taking him into custody. Authorities said in court documents that Barrera did not own a rocket launcher and had no plans to attack Metro.

Barrera has since been transferred from FBI custody to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, spokeswomen from both agencies confirmed. The convicted murderer has been wanted on a warrant from Panama since escaping from La Joya prison in early 2008, new reports and Interpol said. Details regarding Barrera's murder conviction were not readily available, an ICE spokeswoman said. English language media organizations in Panama contacted by The Examiner found little information through what they described as Panama's "broken" court system.

Meanwhile, the FBI is investigating Barrera for identity fraud, court documents said.

Federal agents have executed search warrants on Barrera's apartment and his Hyattsville Bank of America safety deposit box, an FBI spokeswoman confirmed.

The returned warrants show that Barrera kept $21,200 in cash at the bank along with a Panamanian birth certificate issued for Barrera's alias, Antonio Armando Acuna. They also found a fake Social Security card in that name and a D.C. driver's license.

Barrera reportedly told authorities he used the bogus Social Security card to get the driver's license and secure his U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development subsidized apartment, court documents said. A property manager for Brookland Manor Apartments told authorities Barrera paid his rent for one year in advance.

Authorities also found that Barrera had three cars registered to his alias in the District: a 1998 Lexus, a 2003 Infiniti and a 2008 Acura.

Barrera reportedly told authorities he entered the United States by sneaking in through Mexico, the affidavit said.

ALIPAC NOTE: This convicted murder and potential terrorist took full advantage of the failure of the President to enforce our existing immigration and border laws. Our immigration system could be repaired tomorrow if the President would simply do the job big business does not want him to do.

IS ANYONE SUPRISED ANYMORE!!!!! This murder would have likely gotten amnesty if passed!

How many more rapists, murders and all around scum bags are in this country illegally, using fradulent/stolen identification, living off tax payers and set to receive amnesty!

This is the filth that crawls across that border illegally! Damn this pisses me off! I've had it with this shit! Where's our MSM!!!!!

Another case showing the benefit of biometric identification. The form it takes is open for debate the need for it is not.

this is totally insane.
and i have to wonder how many more are doing this very thing

WELL WELL, this is exactly what happens when the IDIOTS in Washington just sit by and do NOTHING about our southern border with who else "Mexico". any and every body or everything is coming into this country because they refuse to seal the border. they have done nothing but LIE to the American people concerning this issue. from the president on down, they are lying to us. can't wait till November so I can do my part in getting these illegal loving IDIOTS out of office.

I'm not surprised at all, because I've heard that people from Iraq have paid Mexicans to help them cross that border and there is no telling what their agenda is either at least not until it happens. I can't help but wonder if one of their family members is killed, raped or badly injured by one of them, will they see the light then?
