EL PASO, Texas -- An illegal immigrant wanted for murder in Mexico was deported at the Stanton Street Bridge on Wednesday morning, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said.

Roberto Fierro-Alanis is wanted in Durango, Mexico, for the 2007 murder of Duglas Gerardo Luna-Herrera. A Mexican judge issued a warrant for Fierro-Alanis' arrest in February 2008, ICE officials said.

Fierro-Alanis was arrested May 7 at his home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, by ICE agents with help from the U.S. Marshals Service and Santa Fe police.

A federal immigration judge ordered him deported on June 15. Government records show Fierro-Alanis was previously arrested and returned to Mexico eight times between February 2001 and February 2007, ICE officials said.
