A United States Congressman from Texas warned that a violent <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/venezuela" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Venezuelan</a> gang is exploiting America’s open southern border to build its presence and consolidate its power within the United States.
Rep. Tony Gonzalez (R-TX) warned that the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua will become the most powerful criminal gang in the country after years of taking advantage of America’s border crisis.
&#8220;This gang in several years is going to be the dominant transnational criminal organization throughout the United States. There&#8217;s no doubt in my mind,&#8221; Rep. Gonzales <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/border-state-lawmaker-sounds-alarm-bloodthirsty-venezuelan-gang-entering-us">explained</a> in an interview with Fox News. &#8220;They&#8217;re very vicious. They have no rules. They gobble up territory almost like a cancer.”
The gang, which engages in kidnapping, sex trafficking, murder, and extortion, may have counted the killer of Laken Riley among its members. Jose Ibarra, the illegal alien charged with the murder of the young nursing student in Georgia, has a number of tattoos <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/illegal-immigrant-charged-with-laken-rileys-murder-is-active-gang-member-report">associated</a> with the Venezuelan gang, including a five-pointed crown on his neck.
The gang is also tied to the <a href="https://www.newsnationnow.com/crime/venezuelan-gang-florida-retired-cops-killing/">strangling</a> of a retired police officer in Florida’s Miami-Dade County, as well as the <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/02/15/us-news/migrants-busted-in-brutal-beating-of-nypd-cops-in-times-square-are-members-of-bloodthirsty-tren-de-aragua-gang-feds/">beating</a> of a New York City Police Officer.
Gonzalez explained that the only way to solve the crisis is to empower Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to hunt down and deport criminal illegal immigrants. &#8220;You have to have ICE have the ability to go around and actively hunt these criminal aliens that have committed crimes, hunt them down and deport them,&#8221; Gonzales explained. &#8220;That has to happen, and when it does happen, it can&#8217;t happen in a vacuum. People have to know what&#8217;s happening. And it can&#8217;t just happen in one part of the country. It has to happen throughout the country.&#8221;

The reported growth of Tren de Aragua within the United States comes as the country has faced an unprecedented border crisis under the Biden administration. Over <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/2455010/illegal-border-crossers-total-over-10-million-since-biden-inauguration/">10 million</a> people have crossed the border since President Joe Biden took office, with an estimated <a href="https://cis.org/Arthur/Blockbuster-House-Report-Reveals-How-Badly-Bidens-Broken-Our-Immigration-System">1.7 million illegal immigrant gotaways recorded</a> since Biden took office in 2021. There were 415,000 total reported gotaways for 2018, 2019, and 2020 under the Trump administration. There have also been over one million illegal immigrant <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/over-one-million-illegal-migrants-encountered-at-southern-border-in-first-six-months-of-fiscal-year-2024">encounters</a> on the southern border in just the first six months of fiscal year 2024.

Several illegal migrants spoke at a New York City Council meeting this week to complain that the city&#8217;s free services provided to them are not acceptable.
The City Council held a meeting on Tuesday specifically to hear about the experiences of black migrants in the city. There, migrants and their advocates accused the city of treating them unfairly.
&#8220;My kids cannot eat the food at the shelter,&#8221; one mother said at the hearing, speaking through a translator. &#8220;And on Ramadan time we couldn&#8217;t eat because when you come back on the break the food is no good at all.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

&#8220;And they give us two months to stay at the shelter and then you have to go out again with your luggage and your kids and find another place. It&#8217;s very difficult,&#8221; she added.
She added that she has children over 18 who have never had any schooling.
&#8220;So please help us,&#8221; she said.
Migrants also pushed for a speedier process to work authorization.
&#8220;Anywhere you go to find a job, they ask for working papers,&#8221; said Mohammed Bah, who <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/migrant-rally-for-housing-work-permits/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">came</a> from Guinea five months ago.

Corinne Obongo Golden, a member of the group Africa is Everywhere, became heated at the hearing, telling councilmembers, &#8220;This is unacceptable. This is shameful time in New York history. This city is not friendly for all people. It is anti-African and xenophobic.&#8221;
&#8220;Africans deserve dignity and respect. We are not animals,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;I&#8217;m so upset &#8230; I want all my fellow Africans to know what it is that they will face if they come to New York City.&#8221;
&#8220;They are here to show you that they belong, and that they are here and that they should not be erased. Please listen to them,&#8221; said Patrice Lawrence, executive director of the UndocuBlack Network.
Other migrants held a rally outside City Hall prior to the hearing to air their grievances.
“We have issues with housing. We don’t have work. A lot of us weren’t able to apply for asylum yet, because we don’t have the means to pay the lawyers,” one migrant <a href="https://ny1.com/nyc/manhattan/politics/2024/04/16/black-migrants-call-on-city-to-provide-equitable-and-fair-services" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, speaking through an interpreter.
Several local lawmakers showed up at the rally as well and echoed the calls from migrants for better services.
“Our color should not determine what service we get in New York City, because when every once else comes they get the services,” said Councilmember Mercedes Narcisse, who is Haitian American and a Democrat representing Brooklyn.
New York has seen an influx of more than 180,000 illegal migrants over the past two years creating a crisis that has strained the city’s budget and caused officials to plead for federal help.

Massachusetts residents say that immigration is the top issue facing the state, a recent poll has found.
The poll, performed by the MassINC Polling Group, <a href="https://commonwealthbeacon.org/by-the-numbers/mass-residents-say-immigration-migrants-top-issue-facing-state/#:~:text=In%20a%20new%20CommonWealth%20Beacon,and%20welfare%20(12%20percent).">asked 1,002 Massachusetts residents</a> what they believe is the most important issue facing the state, leaving the question open-ended.
A plurality of Massachusetts residents, 21%, said that immigration and migrants are the biggest issues facing the Bay State, with housing coming in second at 15%. Taxes, government spending, and welfare came in as the third biggest issue facing the state at 12%. Inflation and the cost of living, meanwhile, tied government spending in third place at 12%.
The vast majority of respondents, 67%, said that the situation was either a crisis (28%) or a major problem (39%), with Democrats showing significant concern over the issue. Among Democrats, 21% called the issue a crisis and 40% called it a major problem. The poll was conducted online between March 21st and 29th, surveyed 1,002 Massachusetts residents, and has a margin of error of 3.4 percentage points.
Immigration broke the top 10 most pressing issues among poll respondents in Massachusetts for the first time in August 2023 when it moved into fourth place with 10% of respondents dubbing it the Bay State’s biggest issue.
Massachusetts is not the only blue state that has become concerned about the effects of Biden’s open border. Another <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/poll-colorado-voters-say-immigration-is-the-top-issue-as-2024-election-draws-closer">recent poll</a> found that likely voters in Colorado say that immigration is the top issue facing their state as well. The poll found that 14% of likely Colorado voters said immigration is the top issue facing the state, with homelessness coming in second at 12%.
The Massachusetts and Colorado polls correspond with a wider national trend, with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/voters-say-immigration-is-top-issue-facing-country-biden-faces-widespread-disapproval-on-immigration">36% of voters</a> across the country saying that immigration is the top issue facing the country, while inflation came in second place. A recent Harvard-Harris poll also found that Biden’s lowest issue-specific approval rating is on immigration, a trend that has persisted for four consecutive months.
The poll results come as the United States faces an unprecedented crisis on our southern border, with officials recording about 9 million <a href="https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/nationwide-encounters">nationwide encounters</a> and 1.7 million <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-admin-may-have-lost-track-millions-of-migrants-crossing-southern-border-congressional-report">estimated gotaways</a> since President Joe Biden took office. The figure poses a sharp contrast with the 415,000 total reported gotaways for 2018, 2019, and 2020 under the Trump administration.

WARNING: This story contains graphic descriptions of extremely heinous criminal acts committed against an animal.
A teenage foreign national in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-jersey" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Jersey</a> pled guilty this month to what one animal rights activist said was the &#8220;worst&#8221; case of animal cruelty she had ever seen in her 35 years of working to protect animals.
Bani J. Mezquititla, 19, pled guilty in Monmouth County Superior Court to two counts of animal cruelty, including Animal Cruelty by Tormenting, Torturing, or Unnecessarily or Cruelly Abusing a Living Animal Resulting in its Death, and Animal Cruelty by Using or Causing or Procuring the Use of an Animal or Creature in Any Kind of Sexual Manner, both third-degree crimes, according to the Monmouth County Prosecutor&#8217;s Office.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) told The Daily Wire that the agency is involved in &#8220;investigating the case&#8221; to determine next steps regarding potential action from its Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) division.
The Asbury Park Press <a href="https://www.app.com/story/news/local/courts/2024/04/10/bani-mezquititla-facing-prison-raping-and-killing-pet-cat/73265476007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Superior Court Judge Chad N. Cagan told Mezquititla that he faces deportation because of the criminal conviction.
Mezquititla kept his back to the courtroom gallery while admitting that he began raping his female cat from December 2022 until February 2023, the report said.
The Asbury Park Police Department launched its criminal investigation after Mezquititla&#8217;s roommate turned him in after Mezquititla showed her images of the cat being tortured and told her that he threw the cat out the window.
Mezquititla confessed to investigators that he pleasured himself in front of the cat before escalating the abuse to raping the cat with sharp objects and later raping using his genitals, according to a <a href="https://patch.com/new-jersey/asbury-park/asbury-park-man-admits-raping-torturing-killing-pet-cat" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from the Asbury Park Patch. He also ejaculated inside the cat, the report said.
The animal was seriously injured, including &#8220;both vaginally and rectally,&#8221; from the raping, the report said.
When he was first arrested, law enforcement asked him if he had ever had sexual contact with the animal, to which he allegedly laughed and said: &#8220;No, I&#8217;m not a psycho.&#8221;
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1700760801843000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
Law enforcement said that he repeatedly tortured the animal by creating a pulley device that he used to strangle the cat.
&#8220;He restrained her during the torture by binding her paws behind her back with miniature handcuffs,&#8221; the Asbury Park Press report said. &#8220;He also cut off her tongue and part of her jaw while she was still alive and took photographs and video of some of the torture.&#8221;
The videos showed the animal desperately gasping for air, shaking, and twitching.
A prosecutor on the case said, &#8220;You can see the cat struggling for its life and in the same picture you can see him smirking.&#8221;
Janine Motta, director of the Animal Protection League of New Jersey, said that this was &#8220;the worst [case] I&#8217;ve seen.&#8221;
Mezquititla was sentenced to the maximum of five years in prison for each charge, but as part of the plea agreement, prosecutors will recommend that the sentences are served concurrently, meaning that he would only serve a maximum of five years instead of 10.
He is also permanently banned from owning any animals.

As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/michigan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michigan</a> residents express outrage over the death of a young woman who was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/once-deported-illegal-immigrant-charged-with-murder-in-shooting-death-of-25-year-old-michigan-woman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">killed</a> allegedly by an illegal immigrant in Grand Rapids, Democratic Congresswoman Hillary Scholten — whose district covers the city — is being criticized for her past work attempting to stop the U.S. from deporting an Iraqi refugee charged with child molestation.
Scholten, a freshman congresswoman who flipped her district from Republican to Democrat in 2022, worked as an immigration attorney before she was elected to Congress and once wrote a <a href="https://digitalcommons.law.umaryland.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2195&amp;context=fac_pubs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">journal article</a> for the St. Louis University School of Law where she and her co-author, Maureen Sweeney, called deportation “cruel and unusual punishment.” Scholten’s work as an immigration attorney appeared to reflect her beliefs laid out in the 2011 journal article when, beginning in 2018, she fought to stop the deportation of an Iraqi woman who was charged with molesting a 12-year-old girl, according to court documents first reported on by <a href="https://www.themidwesterner.news/2024/04/hillary-scholtens-immigration-leadership-includes-deeming-deportation-cruel-and-unusual-punishment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Midwesterner</a>.
Azal “Mary” Saleh, a refugee and registered sex offender from Iraq, was facing deportation after being charged with molesting a child when Scholten defended her. Saleh appealed her removal order, arguing that she was protected by the Convention Against Torture.
Following The Midwesterner report, Michigan Republicans slammed the congresswoman and anyone seeking to protect illegal immigrants charged with serious crimes from deportation. Former GOP gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon ripped Scholten on her eponymous <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-tudor-dixon-podcast/id1678556326" target="_blank" rel="noopener">podcast</a> last weekend, <a href="https://twitter.com/TudorDixon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying</a> the Democratic congresswoman “defends pedophiles, keeps them in this country when they are illegal immigrants, [and] also wants to get ICE out of her county.”
Scholten’s fellow Michigan representative, Tim Walberg — a Republican — represents a district just south of Scholten’s. Earlier this month, an illegal immigrant from Mexico was <a href="https://wwmt.com/news/local/sturgis-police-home-invasion-sexual-assault-sweet-lake-mobile-home-park-arrest-michigan-police-sheriff-office-saint-joseph-county" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested</a> for allegedly breaking into a home in Walberg’s district and sexually assaulting two young girls.
Walberg told The Daily Wire in a statement that anyone “working to keep illegal immigrant sex offenders in this country is radical and morally wrong.&#8221;
“Sadly, Michigan is not immune from violent crime committed by illegal immigrants, whether that be Ruby Garcia’s murder or the sexual assault of two young girls in my district a few weeks ago. Working to keep illegal immigrant sex offenders in this country is radical and morally wrong,” Walberg said. “We should be projecting a clear, unified message that this is not acceptable.”
Rep. Scholten has not responded to a Daily Wire request for comment.

According to <a href="https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/ca6/18-4033/18-4033-2019-12-12.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">court documents</a>, Saleh came to the U.S. as a refugee in 2010 and lived with a foster family in Michigan. While staying with the foster family, Saleh was raped and forced into prostitution, the court documents state. Saleh then moved in with her case worker whose granddaughter later accused Saleh of sexually assaulting her.
“Though Petitioner contests the truth of these allegations, she pleaded guilty to Criminal Sexual Conduct in the Fourth Degree, Victim Between Ages 13-16, the offense that prompted the instant removal proceedings,” the court documents state.
Saleh fought against the deportation, arguing that “she would be tortured upon removal to Iraq because of her identity as a female, Christian, Westernized, single mother without family support and with a history of forced prostitution and a criminal record that identifies her as having engaged in homosexual activity.”
The Iraqi refugee&#8217;s appeal was denied in part and dismissed in part, but Saleh, now 31 years old, still lives in Lansing, Michigan, according to the <a href="https://mspsor.com/Home/OffenderDetails/17dbd2f0-874c-4046-aeb5-ae25d2545d43" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michigan Sex Offender Registry</a>.
Scholten has sought to address the illegal immigration crisis under President Joe Biden by visiting the southern border earlier this year, calling it a “national security crisis, a humanitarian crisis, and an economic crisis.” The congresswoman&#8217;s district was then rocked by the murder of 25-year-old Ruby Garcia, whose body was found near a Grand Rapids road last month. Brandon Ortiz-Vite, who was deported in 2020 under the Trump administration, was charged with killing Garcia.
&#8220;My heart breaks for Ruby Garcia and her family as they grapple with this unspeakable tragedy,&#8221; Scholten <a href="https://www.wzzm13.com/article/news/border-concerns-ruby-garcia-killed/69-7455be0e-2b68-490b-b51c-32c60fdda06e" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> following Garcia&#8217;s murder. &#8220;The individual who committed this heinous crime should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I&#8217;m continuing to push for bipartisan immigration reform that both secures our border and makes sure that individuals who come to our country are fully vetted to keep our communities safe.&#8221;

The branch of the Department of Homeland Security that handles transnational criminal investigations is rebranding itself in the hopes that major Democratic-controlled cities will cooperate with it.
The Department of Homeland Security’s investigative branch, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), is rebranding and scrubbing agents’ contact information of connections to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), under which HSI technically exists. HSI officials have complained that the politics connected to ICE have made their jobs increasingly difficult in areas with “sanctuary city” laws, according to <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2024/04/15/homeland-security-immigration-customs-enforcement/">The Washington Post</a>.
&#8220;HSI’s &#8216;independent branding&#8217; will allow its agents &#8216;to work without the undue toxicity that in some places comes with the ICE moniker,'&#8221; according to the Post. “They’ll still be part of ICE, just like the Marines are part of the Department of the Navy,” ICE acting director Patrick Lechleitner said. 
HSI will roll out a new website empty of references to ICE, as well as a new agency insignia and badges for its agents that are similarly free of the ICE connection.
To make HSI an independent agency, which is what some officials have pushed for over the politics connected to ICE, an act of Congress would be required. The rebranding can avoid the hassle of navigating Capitol Hill while having the same effect, or so the hope goes.
HSI agents have been repeatedly blocked or refused information from local officials and police departments that operate under areas with sanctuary city laws. HSI officials say the agency’s connection to ICE gives people the wrong impression. Though HSI operates under ICE, it does not handle the arrest and deportation of illegal immigrants. HSI’s main focus is investigating transnational crime and gangs.
“We try to the best ability within the entire agency to be apolitical,” Lechleitner said. “We’re not a political organization. We’re a law enforcement, national security, public safety agency. However, it was affecting HSI’s ability to conduct operations and investigations.”
The Department of Homeland Security has fallen deeper into divisive politics under President Joe Biden. The House impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who now awaits his trial in the Senate. House lawmakers impeached Mayorkas, the first cabinet secretary to be impeached in 150 years, on two articles for “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law” and “breach of public trust.”
Illegal immigration into the United States has exploded under Biden and Mayorkas’ tenure. The monthly record for the number of illegal border crossings was <a href="https://apnews.com/article/immigration-border-crossings-mexico-biden-18ac91ef502e0c5433f74de6cc629b32">broken</a> in December when Border Patrol agents reported just under 250,000 arrests at the southern border. The numbers have fallen slightly since the start of the year, though they remain at historically high levels.

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) questioned Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over the electoral impact of mass illegal immigration during a Wednesday Senate budget hearing, arguing that the influx of illegal immigrants will skew the allocation of congressional districts and electoral votes.
Kennedy <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqD2B8RyIlw">asked Mayorkas</a> if he could confirm that “the number of illegal immigrants that you and the president allow into our country counts for congressional district reapportionment?” Mayorkas first responded by saying “I’m not sure I understand your question but I can surely share with you that I disagree with its phrasing.”
“Isn’t it true &#8230; that the number of illegal immigrants that you and President Biden have allowed into our country counts in allocating electoral votes?” Kennedy asserted.
“The notion, Senator, that we intend to allow illegal immigration is nothing short of preposterous,” Mayorkas answered.
“The more people you allow into our country illegally, the more people are counted for reapportionment. And the more people you allow into our country illegally the more people are counted for allocating electoral votes,” Kennedy said. “The only people I know in this country who are better off today than they were four years ago are illegal immigrants, and that’s as a result of your policy.”

Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott slammed New York City Democratic Mayor Eric Adams during an interview on Sunday for &#8220;aiding and abetting&#8221; President Joe Biden&#8217;s illegal immigration crisis.
Abbott made the remarks on Fox News&#8217; &#8220;Fox News Sunday&#8221; in response to criticism that he faced from Adams over his decision to bus thousands of illegal aliens from Texas to New York City.
&#8220;The person who is actually using illegal immigrants as political pawns is Joe Biden,&#8221; Abbott said. &#8220;Joe Biden has created this open border policy that has allowed illegal immigrants into our country to appeal to and to appease the far leftists in the Democrat Party that people like [Alexandria] Ocasio-Cortez in hopes of trying to win their support while at the same time destroying the country that he&#8217;s in charge of. He is the commander-in-chief in charge of national security for our country. Our country is being invaded in ways that put our country at risk because of the political games that Joe Biden has played.&#8221;
&#8220;And Mayor Adams is just aiding and abetting that by having a sanctuary city status, welcoming in anybody from across the world to live there or stay there in New York City on the bill of New York City,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And what Mayor Adams needs to do, he needs to stop talking boldly about illegal immigration and the migrants that Texas is sending there. And he needs to step up and do his own job because look at the dangers in New York City under his watch. You have a police officer who is killed. You have the train system in New York, which is treacherous for travelers. You got police officers attacked in Times Square by illegal immigrants.&#8221;

Abbott said that Adams needed to &#8220;step up and do his job as mayor and protect the people of his community as opposed to gimmicks about what&#8217;s going on on the border. &#8221;

Texas Governor Abbott Blasts NYC Mayor Adams: ‘Aiding And Abetting’ Biden’s Border Crisis

A conservative organization is spending $15 million on an advertising campaign blasting <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/montana" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senator Jon Tester</a> (D-MT) for his record on immigration, highlighting his position on the border wall, sanctuary cities, and amnesty for illegal immigrants.
The ad buy was made by One Nation, a group aligned with Senate GOP leadership, Politico <a href="https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/04/05/congress/conservative-group-drops-15m-on-tester-montana-senate-00150653" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. The $15.2 million ad buy began on Friday with plans to run through the summer as we near the November elections.
“Tell Sen. Tester, stop supporting Biden’s border disaster,” the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBvV9k1xWqM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">advertisement</a> says, asserting that the Democrat Senator from Montana “voted repeatedly to fund sanctuary cities like New York,” and criticizing his support of amnesty.
The ad also pushes Tester to support Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) Secure The Border Act, which would restart construction on the border wall and reimplement the Remain in Mexico policy.
One Nation President Steve Law attacked Tester’s record on immigration again in a statement. “Senator Tester has repeatedly voted to fund sanctuary cities and grant amnesty to illegal immigrants,” Law asserted. “He even voted to allow President Biden to stop building the border wall. Senator Jon Tester needs to stop supporting President Biden’s border disaster.”
Tester campaign spokeswoman Monica Robinson fired back, defending Tester’s record. “Mitch McConnell’s dark money group is flooding Montana with millions of dollars to lie about Jon Tester’s record of fighting to pass one of the toughest border security bills in decades, cracking down on the fentanyl crisis, and his opposition to sanctuary cities.”
The Democratic Senate Majority PAC has set aside <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/01/29/democratic-2024-senate-tv-ad-reservations-montana-nevada-00138184" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$27 million</a> for the Montana Senate race, an election that could be pivotal in deciding which party has control of the Senate.

A Mexican illegal alien who has been deported multiple times from the U.S. was arrested in Ohio on murder charges after officials determined that a body found in an alley was a homicide.
Fermin Garcia-Gutierrez, 46, was <a href="https://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/butler-county/hamilton/sheriff-man-deported-7-times-arrested-for-murder-in-hamilton">charged</a> with aggravated murder, using weapons while intoxicated, carrying concealed weapons, possession of drugs and obstructing official business.
Garcia-Gutierrez was arrested by Hamilton police last month on charges not related to the murder, which they believe he committed two days before his arrest.
“It just so happens we ran into him and had an encounter with him,&#8221; <a href="https://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/butler-county/hamilton/sheriff-man-deported-7-times-arrested-for-murder-in-hamilton">said</a> Hamilton Police Chief Craig Bucheit. &#8220;Unbeknownst to us he had committed this murder.”
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has lodged a detainer request against Garcia-Gutierrez so that he can be deported before he has the chance of being released.
Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones highlighted the danger that illegal aliens like Garcia-Gutierrez pose to Americans at a press conference last week.
&#8220;Garcia-Gutierrez has been deported 7 times and he has been in our jail 11 times using 7 different names and 3 different date of births,&#8221; the Butler County Sheriff&#8217;s Office said in a statement. &#8220;This is a perfect example of what the Sheriff has been saying all along. Illegal immigrants are a danger to our country.&#8221;
Jones said that his county has seen roughly 1,000 illegal aliens face state and local charges since President Joe Biden took office.

Jones posted eight different mugshots of Garcia-Gutierrez that have been taken over the years.
The sheriff brought posters showing Biden, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, and Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador next to the words &#8220;Border Crisis.&#8221;
He also showed a poster-sized photo of an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-mob-of-military-aged-illegal-aliens-storm-past-troops-on-border">incident</a> from last month at the U.S. southern border when more than 100 illegal aliens broke through razor wire and fencing and then assaulted Texas National Guard soldiers and stormed the border.

A majority of Americans want to limit the number of migrants who can apply for asylum and believe that we should hire more Border Patrol agents, a recent poll found.
The poll, <a href="https://apnorc.org/projects/most-favor-hiring-more-border-patrol-agents-and-immigration-judges/">performed</a> by the Associated Press and National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago between March 21st and 25th, found that 53% of Americans believe that we should limit the number of migrants who should be allowed to seek asylum. The issue was split by partisan affiliation, with 75% of Republicans and 51% of Independents saying that we should limit the number while just 35% of Democrats agreed.
There was broader support for hiring more Border Patrol agents, with 64% of Americans favoring the idea, including 54% of Democrats and 79% of Republicans, as well as 56% of Independents. Hiring more immigration judges is another popular idea, enjoying the support of 58% of Americans, including 60% of Republicans and 65% of Democrats.
There was a much wider partisan split on whether or not the United States should build a wall on the southern border, with just 12% of Democrats supporting the policy compared to 77% of Republicans and 42% of Americans overall.
Immigration is a significantly more important issue for Republicans than for Democrats, with 75% of those in the GOP calling it an “extremely” or “very” important issue as opposed to just 46% of Democrats.
While Democrats are less likely to call immigration an important issue, they have much more favorable views of mass immigration, with a majority of Democrats, 52%, saying that illegal immigrants “enrich American culture and values.”
Another recent poll found that Biden faces severe disapproval among the public for his handling of the border, with a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/voters-say-immigration-is-top-issue-facing-country-biden-faces-widespread-disapproval-on-immigration">recent poll</a> finding that only 36 percent of registered voters saying they approve of his performance on the issue, the lowest of any topic.
The data comes out as the United States faces an unprecedented surge of illegal aliens with over <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/2455010/illegal-border-crossers-total-over-10-million-since-biden-inauguration/">10 million</a> crossing the border since Joe Biden took office.

Hundreds of thousands of immigrants have flown into <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/texas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Texas</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/florida" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Florida</a> as part of expanded immigration parole procedures put in place by President Joe Biden, according to government data.
At least 386,000 immigrants have been flown and paroled into the United State from October 2022 through February, according to a <a href="https://cis.org/Bensman/Florida-Gateway-Data-Shows-Most-Migrant-Flights-Landing-Gov-DeSantiss-Sunshine-State" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Center for Immigration Studies</a> analysis of government data. The vast majority of those immigrants touched down in either Florida or Texas, at least initially, after boarding an international flight to the United States.
Florida was by far the top destination. Of those paroled immigrants, at least 326,000 were on planes that initially entered the U.S. through the international airport in Miami. The next most popular destination is Houston with nearly 22,000. Other states to receive immigrants include California and New York.
“Begun in October 2022 for Venezuelans and expanded in January 2023 to Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Colombians, the program approves flight travel authorizations for aspiring illegal border-crossers still in other countries to instead arrange commercial airline passage for themselves over the southern border and then receive temporary but easily renewable &#8216;humanitarian parole&#8217; from CBP officers at the airport,” the CIS report says.
“Also during 2023, the direct-flights parole program declared that Guatemalans, El Salvadorans, Hondurans, and Ecuadorians also would be eligible, for a total of nine nationalities. The Central Americans and Ecuadorians show up in comparatively small numbers for now, having been added in the latter months of 2023, but could increase over time,” it adds.
It’s unclear where the immigrants’ final destination is once they arrive in the United States. The figures only reflect an initial landing in the U.S. once the immigrants secure plane tickets from their home countries.

The White House has pushed to expand immigration parole, arguing that increasing legal pathways to immigration will relieve pressure from illegal immigration on the southern border.
Illegal immigration at the U.S. southern border continues to be a pressing issue after hitting record levels during Biden’s presidency. A caravan of about 2,000 immigrants began <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-thousands-in-new-migrant-caravan-making-way-to-el-paso" target="_blank" rel="noopener">traveling</a> to the U.S. from Tapachula at the southern tip of Mexico near the Guatemala border earlier this month.
In video taken of the group, one man can be heard urging the caravan on and shouting “a la frontera,” which means, “To the border.”
