ICE Boston arrests illegal fugitive wanted for aggravated homicide in El Salvador

EVERETT, Mass. — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement apprehended an illegally present 41-year-old Salvadoran fugitive wanted in his home country for aggravated homicide when officers arrested the fugitive Jan. 22 in Everett, Massachusetts. ICE is withholding the fugitive’s name and likeness due to privacy issues.

“This Salvadoran fugitive attempted to flee justice in his home country by trying to hide out in Massachusetts,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde. “Our ICE officers are the best in the business at finding foreign fugitives who don’t want to be found. Now this alien will have his day in court. ICE ERO Boston will continue our mission to prioritize public safety by arresting and removing alien offenders from our New England communities.”

The Salvadoran national illegally entered the United States on an unknown date, at an unknown location, without being admitted, inspected, or paroled by a U.S. immigration official.

Salvadoran authorities issued an arrest warrant for the fugitive for the offense of aggravated homicide Aug. 22, 2016.

ICE served him with a notice to appear before a Department of Justice immigration judge following his arrest.
