The Honduran national had a criminal record and had previously been deported twice.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported that the suspect who attempted to hijack a United Airlines flight from Newark, New Jersey, to New Orleans, Louisiana, was a criminal illegal immigrant who had been deported twice already by U.S. immigration officials.
DHS stated, “After having previously been deported twice, he illegally entered the country a third time and claimed asylum. A judge granted him asylum after he claimed to be transgender, allowing him to stay in the country.“
“This criminal illegal alien attempted to storm the cockpit, hijack a plane, and claimed he had a bomb. Thanks to law enforcement, he is now behind bars,“ said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. “This twice-deported criminal illegal alien was allowed into our country because of a weak asylum system that allowed him to game the system.”
A DHS spokesperson said the migrant, who had been living in the Bronx, has been charged with felony bomb threat, felony threat, terroristic state offenses, and disorderly conduct.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Mullin and DHS officials as they seek to detain and remove criminal illegal aliens.
- For federal judges to be wise as they hear and decide asylum cases.
- For state and local law enforcement to protect the public from criminal illegal migrants.
