An illegal alien convicted of assaulting a homeless man with a machete in California (but set free by the state’s sanctuary policies) has been arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to be sent back to El Salvador – where he is convicted of murder.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security detailed the arrest of the MS-13 gang member in a X.com post Thursday:
“SAN DIEGO: MS-13 gang member and murderer RELEASED from jail by California sanctuary politicians ARRESTED by @ICEgov. Criminal illegal alien, David Antonio Aviles Perez, has an international warrant for MURDER in El Salvador.”
“His criminal history also includes an arrest in 2023 in California for assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a controlled substance, and petty theft. However, Gavin Newsom’s sanctuary policies allowed this gang member to be RELEASED back into California neighborhoods.”
“Gavin Newsom’s sanctuary policies allowed this gang member to be released from jail after his arrest for assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a controlled substance, and petty theft,” Department of Homeland Security Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said in a statement:
“Releasing this gang member back into California neighborhoods put American lives at risk. Thanks to President Trump and Secretary Mullin, this murderer is off our streets and will soon be out of our country.”
Perez is a reportedly a MS-13 executioner known as “the witch” who, in 2023, was arrested and convicted in Monterey, California for attacking a homeless man with a machete, only to be released back into the community.
El Salvador issued the international warrant to take custody of Perez in order to make him serve a 20-year prison sentence for aggravated homicide in his home country. He will remain in ICE custody while his return to El Salvador is processed.
