ICE captures escaped Colombian murderer hiding out in New Jersey
An escaped killer who entered the U.S. illegally at an unknown time and location has been captured and deported, according to federal authorities.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has removed a convicted killer who escaped prison and was hiding out in New Jersey, where police accused him of making terroristic threats.
Miguel Angel Hernandez Moreno fled his home country of Colombia in September 2017 after leaving prison on a 72-hour furlough.
He was six years into a 22-year sentence for homicide. Details about the victim were not immediately available.
Authorities are not sure when he entered the U.S., but he did so illegally.
He remained under the radar until late last year – when he was accused of making terroristic threats in Jersey City on Dec. 18.
Local authorities released him before ICE's local office of Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) could request a detainer, ICE said in a statement Monday night. However, Hudson County authorities said they had never actually captured him on the charges and therefore did not release him.
The killer next made his way to New York City, authorities said, and on Dec. 27, ERO Newark officers captured him in Queens.
An immigration judge ordered his removal in January, and ICE ERO Philadelphia completed his deportation this month, authorities said.
"Time and again we see fugitives fleeing from justice in their home countries and illegally crossing into the U.S.," said ERO Philadelphia Field Office Director Cammilla Wamsley.

Criminals are fleeing justice in their own countries and coming to the US but they can't keep their noses clean here either. Biden is allowing criminals to get into the US. And Americans like Lake Riley will end up dying. Biden has blood on his hands.
