Donald Trump described migrant crime as a dangerous “new category of crime” in February. The National Pulse has been tracking major incidents involving illegal aliens charged or convicted of serious crimes ever since. A review of the last week shows that such criminality continues to endanger the American public and eat into public resources and that Biden may be trying to make it harder for the public to hold him accountable.
MOTHER AND CHILD.
Bodycam footage of the arrest of Angel Gabriel Cuz-Choc, a Guatemalan illegal alien who has confessed to the murder of a 36-year-old woman and her four-year-old daughter, has been released.
Cuz-Choc, who told investigators he paid a “coyote” smuggler to get him into the country, committed the double murder in the victims’ mobile home in Dover, Florida.
“The nature and circumstances of these offenses are excessively violent and brutal… he stabbed an innocent and defenseless four-year-old child while she was in the bathtub,” read documents related to Cuz-Choc’s case.
“Not only did he commit an unimaginable crime which cruelly claimed the lives of two innocent victims, he then made the cowardly and ultimately futile attempt to evade capture,” commented Sheriff Chad Chronister. The illegal was tracked and detained by K9 dogs while fleeing through woodland.
ANOTHER MOTHER AND CHILD.
Bylly Xilox Aquino, another Guatemalan illegal alien, was arrested for an attack on a mother and child, equally shocking but less deadly.
The 23-year-old is charged with raping and sodomizing an unnamed victim in Fairview, New Jersey, in the presence of a child and has been charged with sexual assault and two counts of child endangerment. The rape victim required medical treatment after the attack.
Aquino is subject to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer request and is scheduled to appear in court on May 8.
KILLER IN CONNECTICUT.
Yet another Guatemalan illegal alien, an unnamed 35-year-old, was detained in Connecticut. He had previously been convicted of manslaughter but was let loose by state officials after serving only part of his sentence.
The killer entered the U.S. illegally in 2007 and was convicted and imprisoned for first-degree manslaughter in 2013. An immigration judge ordered his deportation in 2014. State officials released him instead of turning him over directly to ICE — a common theme in many of the cases recorded in The National Pulse’s migrant crime round-ups.
WANTED MAN.
ICE announced the detention of a Mexican wanted for homicide in his homeland on Wednesday. Juvenal Arroyo Hernandez, 48, had already been deported from the U.S. twice but slipped through its porous border for a third time.
He first crossed the border illegally in 1998, returning to Mexico voluntarily the same year after Border Patrol caught him. He next crossed the border in 2011 and was again detained by Border Patrol and removed after a few months.
It is not known when he crossed the border for the third time. Becoming a so-called “gotaway,” he was discovered by the authorities in Austin, Texas, in April and subsequently found to be wanted for homicide in Mexico.
PEDOPHILE WITH U.S. CITIZENSHIP.
Felix Aguilar-Matias, a now-former Mexican citizen, has been indicted for naturalization and passport fraud four years after his conviction for sexual battery and touching of a child for lustful purposes in Mississippi.
A U.S. passport-holder, Aguilar-Matias is accused of lying on his naturalization documents when asked whether he had “ever committed, assisted in committing, or attempted to commit, a crime or offense for which you were not arrested.”
The pedophile faces automatic loss of citizenship if he is convicted of naturalization fraud, but deporting him may prove difficult if he has renounced his Mexican citizenship.
He was netted as part of Operation False Haven, an expensive ICE operation examining fraudulently obtained naturalization and other benefits, which has gathered in migrants “convicted of serial rape, child sexual abuse, incest, sodomy, child sexual abuse material, kidnapping, sex trafficking, murder and narcotics trafficking.”
A COVER-UP UNDER BIDEN?
Many of the illegal aliens, including those in The National Pulse’s migrant crime round-ups, are identified only by their age and nationality because the authorities do not release their names.
This appears to be a matter of choice rather than legal necessity and has not gone unnoticed by the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI). The IRLI is suing ICE, noting that the agency named criminal aliens in 97 percent of its press releases during the Donald Trump administration.
“Recently, ICE began omitting the names of immigration violators it has arrested from agency press releases,” IRLI observed, noting that “[in the] 67 percent of cases where the alien was referred to by name, he/she had typically been named… by state or local law enforcement, or the media.”
ICE has not responded to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests asking it to hand over any internal policies and guidance on publicizing or not publicizing migrants’ names, and IRLI hopes to force them to do so through court action.
The current policy of seldom naming migrants causes transparency issues, as it makes it difficult or impossible for the press and public to examine the background of their cases.
"We have a new category of crime. It's called migrant crime, and it's going to be worse than any other form of crime," @realDonaldTrump told Laura Ingraham. pic.twitter.com/FrdQLSFKPB
