US Deports Salvadoran Man Wanted in Prosecutor's Slaying
LOS ANGELES Sep 4, 2015, 6:57 PM ET
U.S. immigration authorities on Friday deported a Salvadoran gang member wanted in his country in the slaying of a government prosecutor, officials said.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement flew 21-year-old Javier Arnoldo Ceron Gomez from Mesa, Arizona, to San Salvador and turned him over to authorities, the agency said in a statement.
The case is part of a U.S. government effort to deport foreigners to countries where they are wanted for crimes if they don't qualify to stay in the U.S. instead of seeking to formally extradite them.

Immigration officials said they were notified by Interpol in June that the MS-13 gang member was wanted in connection with the March shooting death of Salvadoran prosecuting attorney Andres Ernesto Oliva Tejada.
