McALLEN, Texas ( Border Report )— U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) officers have removed from San Antonio to Mexico a noncitizen who is wanted for homicide, the agency said Wednesday.
ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations commanders returned Juvenal Arroyo Hernandez, 48, on April 25, the company said.
Noncitizens who commit crimes in their household states will not have a place to stay, according to ERO San Antonio Field Office Director Corey Price.
In May 1988, Arroyo allegedly entered the United States improperly near Del Rio, Texas, where authorities claim he was apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol agents, who subsequently deliberately returned to Mexico.
In October 2011, he was detained and a national jury found him guilty of entering without permission and gave him a 10-day prison sentence before returning to Mexico.
He was spotted in Austin on April 17 and taken into custody and transported to the Hutto Detention Center where he was being held until his treatment. However, the international support federal investigators in Mexico informed ERO in San Antonio that Arroyo was wanted for homicide that day, according to the company.
According to the organization, he was removed and turned over to Mexican government on Thursday without incident.
