An illegal alien who had a detainer placed on him by ICE but was released from jails in Washington state has been charged with murdering and mutilating a high schooler ā and ICE is pinning the blame squarely on the sanctuary laws that meant one of the alleged murderers was in the United States at all.
According to theĀ Seattle Times, Carlos Orlando Iraheta-Vega, 20, is one of two men who has been charged with the murder of 16-year-old high school student Juan Carlos Con Guzman.
Authorities say Con Guzman, who attended Mount Rainier High School in Des Moines, Washington, was lured from his home Sept. for a fight by Iraheta-Vega and 28-year-old Rudy Osvaldo Garcia-Hernandez. The two then drove him by the Green River in Auburn āwith a plan to torture and kill him,ā according to court documents.
Con Guzman was allegedly beaten to death with a baseball bat and then cut into small pieces with a machete that were deposited into the river near the town of Auburn.
āThe extraordinary brutality of this crime demonstrates the threat the defendants pose to the community,ā King County, Washington, prosecutor Mary Barbosa wrote in the charging documents, the Seattle Times reported Friday.
Even before the grisly crime, however, ICE said it already knew that Iraheta-Vega was a serious threat. Thatās why they put a detainer on him after prior arrests and wanted to deport him from the United States back to where he came from.
According toĀ KIRO-TV, Iraheta-Vega, who immigrated to the United States illegally from El SalvadorĀ as an āunaccompanied minor,ā had been in and out of King County jails since 2018.
āICE said it lodged a detainer following Iraheta-Vegaās first arrest by Kent policeĀ in 2018Ā but was not notified of his release from jail several days later,ā KIRO reported.
āIraheta-Vega was later arrested twice for DUI, according to ICE, and released from jail before they could encounter him.ā
ICE also said confirmed both men were members ofĀ the notorious MS-13 gang, according toĀ KOMO-TV.
