Those criminals returned to the U.S thanks to the Trump admin talking with Mexico?

Man charged in Wake County deputy’s death extradited from Mexico to US, deputies say

The man accused of killing a Wake County deputy was extradited to the United States after over a year in custody in Mexico, deputies said Thursday.
Alder Alfonso Marin-Sotelo is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Deputy Ned Byrd, who was fatally shot in August 2022.
In late April 2023, Marin-Sotelo escaped custody from the Piedmont Regional Jail in Virginia. He was captured a few days later in Mexico, where he remained until his extradition.
“Deputy Byrd was one of our own, and we have never stopped working to ensure justice is served,” Sheriff Willie Rowe said in a statement. “This extradition is a testament to the determination and collaboration of law enforcement agencies at the state, local, and federal levels. We are grateful for their efforts and remain committed to seeing this case through.”
Something is missing from the article
(WRAL) Alder Marin-Sotelo is now one of 29 defendants being extradited from Mexico to the U.S. on various drug, gun and murder charges. Prosecutors announced in September 2023 that they won’t seek the death penalty against the two brothers.
They forgot to mention something
(ABC11) Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman said, “The return of Mr. Marin-Sotelo to the United States now allows us to move forward with this case and set a trial date. We are grateful for the cross-agency collaboration that brought him back to face these charges. We know this is a case of significant importance to our community, and our thoughts remain with Deputy Byrd’s family and friends.”
Important information also missing. Here’s a CBS17 article from August, 2024
After his indictment, Marin-Sotelo was held at the Piedmont Regional Jail in Virginia on an unrelated federal charge of possession of a firearm by an illegal alien. Jail staff said Marin-Sotelo “manipulated the locking mechanism on the rear exit door” of the jail in order to escape on April 30, 2023. Federal prosecutors say Marin-Sotelo’s sister arranged for a getaway car to be dropped of near the jail.
The murder suspect was on the run for several days before being captured in Mexico. The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia charged Marin-Sotelo with escape from custody.
That’s right, another illegal. Anyhow, Virginia dropped the charges for escaping the jail, leaving NC with the primary charging authority.
All three of those news outlets are local Raleigh/Wake County. A fourth, the Raleigh News And Observer, has not even bothered to mention that Marin-Sotelo is being extradited back to stand trial for killing a Wake County Deputy.
