U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement asked Charlotte officials not to release an illegal alien charged in two fatal shootings.
The Department of Homeland Security announced Monday that ICE lodged a detainer on Angelvis Jesus Quintero Fernandez, a 22-year-old illegal alien from Venezuela facing felony charges, including first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, inflicting serious injury, possession of a stolen firearm, and felony conspiracy.
Quintero Fernandez allegedly confessed to fatally shooting 44-year-old Ludvin Antonio Guzman Morales on January 24 and Luis Guitierrez Mora on March 22, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg police, who arrested him on March 23.
Sanctuary politicians released nearly 1,400 criminal illegal aliens from jail directly back onto North Carolina streets, the department said.
“Because of the Biden administration’s disastrous CBP One app, this illegal alien was allowed to come into the country and commit these murders,” Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said. “We are calling on Charlotte sanctuary politicians to commit to not releasing this murderer from jail back into our [communities]. We need cooperation from sanctuary jurisdictions to make America safe again. No one wants this murderer in their communities.”
Quintero Fernandez entered the U.S. in July 2023 via the CBP One app, which the Biden administration used to release more than a million unvetted illegal aliens into the country, the department said.
