ICE arrests previously deported convicted murderer hiding out on Long Island
"According to ICE, Guerra illegally entered the United States at an unknown time and location after previously being removed. In 2003, police in Hialeah, Florida, arrested him for homicide and second-degree murder with a deadly weapon. The 11th Judicial Circuit Court in Miami-Dade County convicted him in 2017 and sentenced him to up to 18 years in prison."
"Federal immigration authorities first encountered Guerra at the Central Florida Reception Center in 2019, where the Florida Department of Corrections honored an ICE detainer upon his release. He was deported to El Salvador on July 26, 2019. ICE said Guerra's return to the U.S. demonstrates how repeat offenders exploit border and enforcement gaps."
"On January 29, Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers from ICE's New York City field office, working with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), located Guerra in Hempstead and arrested him after a short pursuit."
Jose Dimas Guerra Castro, a 53-year-old Salvadoran national, was arrested by ICE and CBP officers in Hempstead, New York on January 29 following a brief foot pursuit. Guerra was previously convicted of second-degree murder in Miami-Dade County in 2017 and sentenced to up to 18 years in prison. He was deported to El Salvador in 2019 after serving his sentence. Guerra illegally reentered the United States at an unknown time and location. ICE officials used his arrest to highlight concerns about repeat offenders exploiting border and enforcement gaps, and criticized New York's recent ban on cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
