Thread: ICE Captures Undocumented Immigrant Wanted For Chopping Up Two Men With Machete

U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement special agents announced the arrest in North Carolina of an at-large fugitive alien wanted for the brutal machete murder of two men back in Honduras.

According to a statement, ICE special agents captured and arrested Francisco Escobar-Orellana at his home in North Carolina as part of a targeted operation run by ICE Homeland Security Investigations teams. Escobar is wanted in his home country of Honduras for allegedly brutally slaying two men to death with a machete at a liquor store more than 20-years-ago in 1993.

Investigators say they do not know exactly when Escobar managed to illegally enter the United States, but it is now almost a sure thing that he’ll be heading back to Honduras to face justice for the 1993 killings.

“ICE is focused on identifying, arresting and removing public safety threats, such as convicted criminal aliens and gang members, as well as individuals who have violated our nation’s immigration laws,” ERO Atlanta Field Office Director Sean Gallagher told reporters after the operation. “ICE Fugitive Operations Teams conduct targeted enforcement operations toward these identified threats to public safety. North Carolina residents are safer today thanks to the professionalism and hard work of these dedicated officers.”

Although Gallagher did not specifically say it, the raid clearly sends the message that U.S. immigration agents will not give up when it comes to finding those accused of violent crimes.

Escobar was placed in the Wake County Detention Center and ICE requested local authorities to place an immigration detainer on Escobar, ensuring he will not be released by local authorities before the Feds have the opportunity to start deportation proceedings to remove him from the United States. It is then expected that Escobar will face charges related to the killings once he is returned to Honduras.

Just looking for a better life, huh? Just wanting to make "contributions", eh?

You poor stupid people still supporting illegal aliens. You disgust me!!

GET THEM OUT. GET THEM ALL OUT!!

No decent honest person sneaks into our country illegally. PERIOD. Who does that? People on the run, people hiding, people fleeing from the law, people working for the drug cartels and criminal enterprises, people committing fraud, people involved in an advanced force, people trying to tear our country apart, people who don't care about their families they leave behind, people who abandon their children, etc., etc., etc.

ICE Captures Undocumented Immigrant Wanted For Chopping Up Two Men With Machete

I'd say he qualifies as a "bad hombre".

Think about the poor Americans who will recognize him pic on TV or in the papers and say, "oh my God that's the weird guy in the grocery line at Walmart last week."

I wonder how many people he killed in our country before he was deported? Check your missing persons and unsolved cases files.

Just imagine, this guy is just one of 10-15 million that came here unvetted. Obviously my number is smaller than the total of illegals we have because I assume all of the illegals with expired visas were properly vetted prior to having their visa issued.

I know, MW, it's an absolute national security disaster for the American People.

Uncivilized people from uncivilized countries with high inbreeding rates and damaged brains should NOT be in this country, especially by unauthorized entry. Where are our protections as citizens?

HOPE MILLS, North Carolina (WTVD) -- An undocumented immigrant, who was wanted for two murders in Honduras and arrested in February by ICE agents in Cumberland County, has been removed from the United States.

Francisco Escobar-Orellana, who had been living in Hope Mills, was deported Monday by officers with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO).

Escobar is wanted in Honduras on a May 2005 arrest warrant for allegedly hacking two men to death with a machete at a liquor store in 1993.

Officials don't know how long Escobar had been in the United States or when he arrived.

On March 23, a federal immigration judge ordered Escobar removed from the United States.

ERO Atlanta deportation officers transferred Escobar from the Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Georgia, to the Columbus Metropolitan Airport where he was flown to San Pedro Sula, Honduras. Upon arrival, Escobar was transferred into Honduran law enforcement custody.

"ICE is focused on identifying, arresting and removing public safety threats, such as convicted criminal aliens and gang members, as well as individuals who have violated our nation's immigration laws," said ERO Atlanta Field Office Director Sean Gallagher. "ICE Fugitive Operations Teams conduct targeted enforcement operations toward these identified threats to public safety. North Carolina residents are safer today thanks to the professionalism and hard work of these dedicated officers."

Anyone with information about foreign fugitives is urged to contact ICE at the tip line (866) 347-2423 or internationally at 001-1802-872-6199. They can also file a tip online by completing ICE's online tip form.
