Suspect on Run in Texas After Mass Murder Is Illegal Immigrant Deported 5 Times
Illegal Immigrant Accused of Killing Five People in Texas
On Friday, a shocking incident took place in Texas where an illegal immigrant, Francisco Oropesa, allegedly killed five people, including an eight-year-old child. What’s even more disturbing is that Oropesa had been deported from the United States five times before. This information was revealed by a source in Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as reported by Fox News.
Oropesa, a Mexican national, is currently the target of a manhunt in Texas after he reportedly killed his neighbors when one of them complained about him shooting his rifle late at night. The murders occurred in Cleveland, Texas, a suburb of Houston. It’s a tragic incident that has left the community in shock.
Deported Multiple Times
It’s alarming to know that Oropesa had been deported multiple times before. The last time he had a run-in with ICE was in 2016. Despite this, he managed to enter the country again and commit this heinous crime. The FBI is currently offering a reward of at least $80,000 for information on his whereabouts, but so far, they have no leads, as reported by Fox News.
Border Agents Brace for Potential Surge of Migrants
The killings come at a time when border agents are bracing for a potential surge of migrants in the coming weeks. This is following the expiration of Title 42, a pandemic-era rule that granted agents power to turn away migrants for health concerns. With the lapse of the pandemic national health emergency this month, the immigration rule also expires. Border agents have already seen a surge, with Border Patrol agents reporting 162,317 migrant encounters in March, 32,000 more than the month before, as reported by Free Beacon.
Apprehension of Terrorists at the Border
It’s not just the surge of migrants that’s concerning. Border agents have also apprehended at least 69 people on the terror watch list this fiscal year, which is on pace to beat 2022’s total of 98. Only eight individuals on that list were caught between 2017 and 2020, as reported by Free Beacon. This is a worrying trend that needs to be addressed immediately.
