ICE Arrests Illegal Alien Accused of Torturing Dogs
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested an illegal alien accused of torturing dogs at the animal shelter where he worked in Las Vegas, Nevada, Breitbart News has learned.
On April 2, ICE agents arrested illegal alien John Young Cotter Johnstone of the United Kingdom, thanks to the cooperation of law enforcement in Clark County, Nevada.
The day before he was arrested by ICE agents, Johnstone was arrested by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and charged with four counts of torture, willful mutilation or mutilation of animals.
Las Vegas investigators investigated animal torture allegations against Johnstone for a month. The investigation alleges that Johnstone used shock collars on dogs at the animal shelter where he worked and stepped on their leashes to force their heads to the ground.
Johnstone also allegedly used some of the dogs’ leashes to swing them through the air. The torture of the animals was filmed by the shelter, according to police.
“This disgusting criminal tortured dogs at the shelter where he worked,” Lauren Bis of the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement.
“Thanks to the cooperation of Clark County officials who honored the ICE detainer, this monster is in ICE custody,” Bis said. “Seven of the ten safest cities are cooperating with ICE. We need more state and local politicians to work with us to keep criminals off our streets and out of our country.”
Johnstone used the Visa Waiver Program to enter the United States in 2021 without first obtaining a visa. He was supposed to leave the United States in February 2022, but he failed to do so.
