ICE agents nab violent illegal migrant hiding in Connecticut after allegedly murdering Mexican police officer

Immigration agents nabbed a violent illegal migrant who was hiding in the sanctuary state of Connecticut after he allegedly beat a Mexican police officer to death. Orlando Diaz-Cebada, who is a member of the 'Los Pochos' gang which traffics drugs for the Sinaloa cartel, had been deported from the US twice after crossing the border illegally, the Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday. 'Thanks to our brave ICE law enforcement and federal partners, this criminal illegal alien fugitive wanted for murdering a law enforcement official in Mexico is off America's streets. This heinous murderer attempted to evade justice by hiding out in Connecticut,' said Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.

DHS 'These are the types of barbaric criminal illegal aliens our brave ICE law enforcement risks their lives every day to arrest. America is no longer a safe haven for violent criminals. If you are a criminal illegal alien considering entering America illegally, don't even think about it. If you come here and break our laws, we will hunt you down. Criminals are not welcome in the United States,' she added. Mexico issued an arrest warrant on April 23, 2024, accusing Diaz-Cebada of beating a Mexican government official to death, according to DHS.

Two days later, he showed up again at the border again and was deported for a second time. But that didn't stop Diaz-Cebada, who crossed the border illegally for a third time by successfully sneaking past federal agents. He is currently in ICE custody ahead of his likely third deportation from the US, according to DHS.
