“Our officers remain focused on ensuring that our efforts target fugitives from justice, both here and abroad,” said Lyle Boelens, acting field office director for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations, Washington, D.C. “We will continue to deny fugitives the opportunity to evade the justice systems of our international partners by hiding unlawfully in the United States.”
On April 1, the government of El Salvador issued an arrest warrant for Angel for aggravated homicide.
On May 10, ICE officers arrested Angel in Alexandria, Virginia, and served him a notice to appear in immigration court.
An immigration judge ordered Angel removed to El Salvador on July 9.
