Kansas/Missouri mass murder suspect was deported in 2004
And you wonder what's behind the appeal of Trump? ABC:
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said it deported Serrano-Vitorino in April 2004, after he served time for a conviction in Los Angeles County Superior Court for making a terrorist threat.
Following his deportation, Serrano-Vitorino illegally re-entered the U.S. undetected on an unknown date, ICE said.
On Nov. 21, 2014, Serrano-Vitorino was convicted of a DUI, according to ICE. ICE said that an initial review of its records does not indicate that the agency was notified at that time. ICE is continuing to review its records, it said.
Serrano-Vitorino was then arrested by the Kansas City Police Department on June 15, 2015, for domestic assault, said Kansas City Police Chief Terry Zeigler and ICE.
At the time ICE received notification that someone with the same name was in custody. Since the notification wasn’t done by biometric fingerprinting, ICE is required to conduct an interview to ensure they are requesting detaining of the right person. He was released before an interview took place, according to a spokesperson for ICE.
"Everybody makes mistakes and ICE has been very helpful to us when we have called on them for assistance," said Kansas City Police Chief Terry Zeigler at a press conference Wednesday.
On Sept. 14, 2015, ICE was notified that Serrano-Vitorino was fingerprinted at the Overland Park Municipal Court in Kansas, after receiving a fine for driving without a license.
“Although the notification prompted ICE to issue a detainer to the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office, Serrano was at court for a municipal fine and was never remanded to the sheriff’s office custody. Therefore, neither ICE nor the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office could take action on that detainer,” said a statement by ICE.
