Illegal Alien Released Into U.S. Allegedly Pulls Girl Into Van and Sexually Assaults Her \nMay 10, 2024 \nr \nIn another case of a horrifying and preventable crime, an illegal alien in Florida is accused of grabbing an 11-year-old girl, dragging her into a van and sexually assaulting her. \n \nThe incident unfolded when the victim’s mother noticed her daughter was not inside the home and went outside to look for her. \n \nWhile walking around outside, the mother noticed a van with her daughter inside. That’s when she banged on the van and asked the man what he was doing inside with her daughter. The suspect, Marvin Perez Lopez, then apologized and asked for forgiveness as he ran out of the van. \n \nThe girl told investigators that the suspect grabbed her and told her to get into the van, where he abused her. She says she tried to get out of the vehicle, but Lopez grabbed her again and pulled her back in. \n \nPalm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw says the illegal alien suspect confessed to the sexual assault and will face trial in the U.S. before he can even think about being deported. \n \nAccording to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, Lopez is from Guatemala and entered the United States illegally as a single adult male in January 2024 after crossing through Mexico. He made it to Palm Beach County later in January. How Lopez trekked from the southern border to Florida is unclear. Did an NGO facilitate his travel? It’s a question that should be answered. \n \nLopez, like so many illegal aliens entering the country under President Biden’s de facto open-borders policies, willingly turned himself into Border Patrol, likely with the expectation he would be released with a court date years in the future. He was given a notice to appear in 2027 and released on his own recognizance. \n \nThe United States has a full repatriation agreement with Guatemala, and Lopez could have been sent back. Instead, he was free to roam in the United States for five years. \nSOURCE, FAIR US org

Murderer from Colombia Released Into U.S. by ICE After Crossing Border Illegally \nMay 22, 2024 \n \nThe recent arrest of Efrain Vidales Vargas, a convicted murderer from Colombia, is another example of the perilous consequences of the Biden administration’s failure to secure our borders. \n \nVargas, who entered the U.S. illegally near Yuma, Arizona, in November 2023, was initially detained but subsequently released by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). \n \nVargas is wanted in Colombia on charges of aggravated homicide, aggravated theft and unlawful possession of a weapon. He was convicted and sentenced to 17 years in prison on September 29, 2016. \n \nICE knew about Vargas’ murder conviction in Colombia and extensive criminal history. An ICE officer on December 11, 2023, even noted his conviction in Columbia, but two days later, he was released with a notice to appear and allowed to roam freely in the United States. This was apparently due to a “national bed space shortage caused by the Southwest border surge.” \n \nThis incident is a glaring example of how the current administration’s open-border policies jeopardize the safety of Americans and undermine the rule of law.\nSOURCE, FAIR US org
