Luis Rodrigo Perez, 23, a native of Mexico, has been charged with shooting two men to death and wounding two others on November 1. The next day, police allege he fatally shot another woman.
Perez was in a Middlesex County Jail in New Jersey after being arrested in December 2017, but released in February, NJ.com reported.
"... [T]he county did not honor a detainer from U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), John Tsoukaris, head of the agency's Newark field office, said in a news statement Friday," NJ.com reported.
Corey Price, acting executive director of ICE, was not happy.
"Yet again, an ICE detainer was ignored and a dangerous criminal alien was released to the streets and is now charged with killing three people,” Price said. “Had ICE’s detainer request in December 2017 been honored by Middlesex County Jail, Luis Rodrigo Perez would have been placed in deportation proceedings and likely sent home to his country – and three innocent people might be alive today."
