US Border Patrol arrests 2 Mexican fugitives with warrants in California

FIRST ON FOX: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently confirmed that agents from the San Diego Sector of the U.S. Border Patrol arrested two Mexican fugitives with active arrest warrants for homicide and lewd acts on a child.

On February 26, agents conducted a coordinated surveillance targeting Silvia Del Rosario Torres-Castro, a Mexican national wanted in Mexico for homicide.

Torres-Castro was arrested without incident in Anaheim, California, and turned over to Mexico’s Fiscalía General de la República (FGR), according to DHS.

Officials said she entered the United States illegally in December 2023 during the Biden administration in the area of ​​responsibility of the Imperial Beach Border Patrol station.

Although Suazo-Garcia entered the United States legally in May 2021, his visa was revoked due to his alleged crimes in Mexico.

“Thanks to the Biden administration, these dangerous criminal illegal aliens have been allowed to roam America’s streets and make our communities less safe,” DHS Acting Deputy Secretary Lauren Bis wrote in a statement to Fox. “These are the types of illegal aliens that the media categorizes as ‘non-criminal’ illegal aliens because they have no criminal record in the United States.”

Bis said nearly 70% of illegal immigrants arrested by ICE across the country have criminal convictions or are awaiting criminal charges in the United States.

“This statistic does not even take into account people wanted for violent crimes in their home country or in another country, human rights violators, gang members and terrorists,” Bis wrote. “Now, thanks to our law enforcement, these two illegal criminals are back in Mexico to face justice for their crimes.”
