ICE San Antonio officers remove previously deported Guatemalan man who faces homicide charges in home country

SAN ANTONIO — A Guatemala man, who is wanted for homicide in his home country, was deported Wednesday by officers with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) in Laredo.

Juan Figueroa-Martinez, 27, was flown to Guatemala Sept. 16 onboard a charter flight coordinated by ICE's Air Operations (IAO) Unit. Upon arrival, Figueroa-Martinez was turned over to officials Guatemalan authorities.

According to Guatemalan authorities, Figueroa-Martinez is the lead suspect in the rape of a 14-year-old child who subsequently died as a direct result of this crime. In June 2015 Figueroa-Martinez was confronted by the child's father in Guatemala, at which time Figueroa-Martinez fatally shot the victim's father with a rifle.

"Today's removal of Figueroa-Martinez reflects ERO's commitment not only to public safety in the United States but also abroad,” said San Antonio Field Office Director, Enrique M. Lucero. "His case should send a message to others like him, that the United States will not be used as a safe haven for those fleeing justice.”

Figueroa-Martinez was first removed to Guatemala March 9, 2013 from Newark, New Jersey after an immigration judge issued him a final order of removal. Two years later he returned illegally into the United States. He was arrested Aug. 17 by U.S. Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) Office of Border Patrol near Falfurrias, Texas. He was transferred to ICE custody where he remained until his removal to Guatemala.

Since Oct. 1, 2009, ERO has removed more than 1,150 foreign fugitives from the United States who were sought in their native countries for serious crimes, including kidnapping, rape and murder. ERO works with the ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Office of International Operations, foreign consular offices in the United States, and Interpol to identify foreign fugitives illegally present in the United States. Members of the public who have information about foreign fugitives are urged to contact ICE by calling the toll-free ICE tip line at 1 (866) 347-2423 or internationally at 001-1802-872-6199. They can also file a tip online by completing ICE's online tip form.

ERO coordinates the removal of criminals, foreign fugitives and others ordered deported. Last year alone, ERO removed 315,943 individuals from the United States. ICE is focused on smart and effective immigration enforcement that prioritizes its resources based on those who pose the biggest threat to national security, border security and public safety. ICE's civil enforcement efforts are based on priorities set by the Secretary of Homeland Security in November 2014.

The U.S. Customs and Border Patrol says it’s turned over a previously-deported illegal alien, wanted for raping and killing a 14-year-old and murdering her father in June, to Guatemalan authorities.

Juan Figueroa-Martinez, 27, so brutalized his victim she “subsequently died as a direct result of this crime,” according to the news release. When the victim’s father confronted her alleged murderer, Martinez shot him with a rifle, killing him.

Martinez then fled to the U.S., where he roamed about until Border Patrol agents arrested him near Falfurrias, Texas in August. A violent rapist who broke into the country was at large for a month — and no media outlet has bothered to write up this case except for a sole local news outlet. Martinez had previously been deported after authorities arrested him in New Jersey in March 2013.

It’s unclear why Martinez chose to flee to the U.S. after his alleged rape-murder spree, rather than a neighboring country, like Mexico. One clue might be Mexico’s tough immigration laws:

Under the Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony, punishable by up to two years in prison. Immigrants who are deported and attempt to re-enter can be imprisoned for 10 years. Visa violators can be sentenced to six-year terms. Mexicans who help illegal immigrants are considered criminals.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers deported a man Wednesday who was wanted for homicide in Guatemala, his home country.

Juan Figueroa-Martinez, the lead suspect in the rape of a 14-year-old girl who died, entered the country illegally, according to a news release by Customs and Border Protection.

The father of the girl confronted the 27-year-old man in June. Figueroa-Martinez fatally shot the father with a rifle, authorities said.

Figueroa-Martinez was first deported from New Jersey on March 9, 2013, when an immigration judge issued a final order of removal, according to the news release. The 27-year-old returned to the U.S. two years later.

U.S. Border Patrol agents near Falfurrias found and arrested the Guatemalan on Aug. 17. Figueroa-Martinez was later handed over to the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

He was deported on Sept. 16 and turned over to Guatemalan authorities.

“Today’s removal of Figueroa-Martinez reflects ERO’s commitment not only to public safety in the United States but also abroad,” said San Antonio Field Office Director, Enrique M. Lucero, according to the news release. “His case should send a message to others like him, that the United States will not be used as a safe haven for those fleeing justice.”

can some of you please try to send copies of these news reports to the Trump campaign in case they find themselves under attack again for taking a stance against illegal alien rapists and murderers?
