After temporarily holding a Venezuelan national for unlawfully crossing the border into Texas, the Biden administration released him. The man was on Interpol’s most wanted for murder and drug dealing in Colombia.
According to KSAT-TV, on January 2, the United States Border Patrol detained Aderbis Segundo Pirela-Pirela, a 29-year-old citizen of Venezuela, following his unauthorized crossing of the border near Eagle Pass, Texas.
Despite being on Interpol’s top-ten wanted list, officials under Biden’s administration allowed the deadly criminal to enter the United States with just a “notice to appear” before an immigration judge. From January 5th until his re-arrest on March 12th, the high-ranking gang member was free to roam.
After a long period of evasion, Pirela-Pirela was apprehended in New Braunfels, Texas, and later brought to San Antonio’s ICE detention.
Mark Morgan, the former head of customs and border protection, criticized the Biden administration for enabling a notable international criminal to enter the United States without any hindrance.
I think this gets to the crux of a major problem. Morgan allegedly told the National Desk that if Secretary Mayorkas or anybody else in this government claims to the American people that they thoroughly screen individuals before releasing them, it is just a lie.
The assurances given to them are unfounded fears. Unfortunately, we get no information on the criminal records of illegal immigrants from several of the nations with whom we have no diplomatic relations.
In addition, Morgan stated:
“From its original purpose as a national security law enforcement agency, the border tools’ function has shifted to that of a processing organization. In actuality, this government has released individuals whose identities have been a mystery to us for the last 36 months, and this trend continues daily. The United States saw the apprehension of about 200,000 undocumented immigrants by ICE. As a result of the reenactment and reinstatement of catch and release policies, this occurs daily.”
Rumor has it that Pirela-Pirela is a high-ranking Satanas member in Colombia. The notoriously brutal Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua is associated with this group as well.
A member of the Bogotá Prosecutor’s Office named Leonor Merchán Lopera informed the media that Pirela-Pirela’s role within the gang “was to distribute pamphlets and collect extortion, and when they did not pay it, he plainly threatened or attacked the victims or their families.”
