ICE removes man to El Salvador wanted for aggravated homicide
MIAMI – U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) on Friday removed a man wanted by the government of El Salvador for aggravated homicide and turned him over to law enforcement authorities there.
Walter Reyes-Aparicio, 23, was the subject of an Interpol Red Notice for a Nov. 13, 2010, aggravated homicide in El Salvador.
“International fugitives who think they can evade justice by fleeing to the United States should take notice — they will find no refuge here," said Marc J. Moore, field office director for the Miami Field Office of ERO. “This repatriation is an example of the continued cooperation between the United States and foreign governments resulting in improved public safety.”
Since Oct. 1, 2009, ERO has removed more than 1,700 foreign fugitives from the United States who were sought in their native countries for serious crimes, including kidnapping, rape and murder.
ERO works with the ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Office of International Operations, foreign consular offices in the United States, and Interpol to identify foreign fugitives illegally present in the United States. Members of the public who have information about foreign fugitives are urged to contact ICE by calling the ICE tip line at 1-866-347-2423 or internationally at 001-1802-872-6199. The public can also file a tip online by completing ICE’s online tip form.
