Santa Clara Sanctuary Politicians REFUSE to Honor ICE Arrest Detainer for Two Honduran Criminal Illegal Aliens Accused of Murdering a 24-Year-Old Single Mother Franquin Inestroza-Martinez is wanted for the murder of a 55-year-old man from New Jersey in 2025 and Gerzon Jose Chirinos-Munguia was previously RELEASED from jail by Santa Clara sanctuary politicians WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today released the following statement regarding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after Santa Clara County sanctuary politicians refused to honor ICE detainers on two criminal illegal aliens arrested for the murder of a 24-year-old single mother in California. Detainers are requests to not release criminals from jail without notification to ICE. On the evening of January 7, officers responded to reports of a shooting in Sunnyvale, California according to local reporting. Upon arriving to the scene, law enforcement found 24-year-old single mother Kembery Chirinos-Flores bleeding in her car with multiple gunshot wounds. She was pronounced dead at the scene and leaves behind a 5-year-old son. Kembery Chirinos-Flores  On March 5, 2026, local law enforcement arrested criminal illegal aliens Franquin Inestroza-Martinez and Gerzon Jose Chirinos-Munguia for the murder of Kembery Chirinos-Flores. Franquin Inestroza-Martinez  On June 12, 2013, Inestroza-Martinez, a Honduran national, was caught illegally entering the United States by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents. He was arrested and removed. On February 1, 2018, he was caught illegally re-entering the United States—a felony—and removed a second time. He illegally entered the United States a third time at an unknown date and time. According to reports, Inestroza-Martinez also had an outstanding arrest warrant from New Jersey for the homicide of 55-year-old Esteban Vicente Sacalxot, who was found dead in his Trenton home from gunshot wounds on March 17, 2025. Gerzon Jose Chirinos-Munguia  On May 18, 2015, Chirinos-Munguia, a Honduran national, was caught illegally entering the country by CBP agents and was later removed. At an unknown place and time, he illegally re-entered the United States—a felony—and has been illegally living in the country. On September 20, 2019, Chirinos-Munguia was arrested in Santa Clara County for domestic battery and threatening crime with the intent of terrorizing. He has an additional arrest in April 2018 for battery and false imprisonment. He shares a child with his victim Kembery Chirinos-Flores. ICE issued an arrest detainer asking sanctuary politicians to not release Chirinos-Munguia following his arrests for domestic battery and false imprisonment. Instead of turning this criminal over to ICE, sanctuary politicians released him from jail back into American communities. “A man lost his life, and a child is now without a mother. These illegal aliens should have never been able to commit these horrific killings and must NEVER be released from jail into American communities,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “Instead of cooperating with ICE, Santa Clara sanctuary politicians REFUSED to honor ICE’s arrest detainer and will not notify ICE when these murderers are released from jail. This insanity of refusing to turn cold-blooded killers over to ICE must end.” DHS law enforcement is protecting American communities every day from another senseless tragedy like this taking place in another town, to another family. Victims of illegal alien crime may receive support from the Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) Office by contacting 1-855-488-6423.

 Press Release:

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Office of Public Affairs

ICE Agents Under Attack While Attempting to Arrest Criminal Illegal Alien in Sacramento, California Our brave ICE law enforcement is facing a 3,200% increase in vehicular attacks WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today announced a criminal illegal alien from Laos with previous convictions for vehicle theft, stolen property, conspiracy, petty theft, two DUIs, resisting an officer, battery, and felony possession of a firearm weaponized his vehicle in an attack on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) law enforcement officers and remains at-large. “On March 25, 2026, ICE conducted a targeted vehicle stop to arrest Xa Lee, a fugitive and criminal illegal alien from Laos. He was previously convicted of vehicle theft, stolen property, conspiracy, petty theft, two DUIs, resisting an officer, battery, and felony possession of a firearm. During the vehicle stop, Lee attempted to flee and hit an ICE officer with his vehicle. The officer, thankfully, did not sustain injuries. During the incident, ICE officers pulled out their tasers. He fled the scene and remains at large,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “This is just the latest in a disturbing trend of vehicle attacks. We are calling on the public to report any sightings of this criminal illegal alien to ICE at (866) 347-2423.” Lee was issued a final order of removal by an Immigration Judge in 2010 and was placed on the Alternative to Detention Program. This dangerous criminal illegal alien is still at-large. DHS requests that if the public has any information of his whereabouts, please contact the ICE Tip Line at (866) 347-2423 or fill out the ICE Tip Form online. This dangerous attempt to evade arrest comes after sanctuary politicians held webinars and provided resources and tips for how to openly defy ICE: Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hosted a webinar providing tips for illegal aliens to evade arrests at homes, workplaces, or in public. Representative Dan Goldman posted a video online calling on illegal aliens to make a plan for ICE encounters. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass issued multilingual flyers and online resources advising illegal aliens on how to evade arrest. California Governor Gavin Newsom released guides and sanctuary laws advising illegal aliens how to recognize ICE, block entry, and defy arrest. DHS is once again calling on sanctuary politicians, agitators, and the media to turn the temperature down and stop calling for violence and resistance against ICE law enforcement.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Office of Public Affairs

ICE Ask Charlotte Sanctuary Politicians to Not Release Illegal Alien from Jail who was Arrested for Two Murders Sanctuary politicians released nearly 1,400 criminal illegal aliens from jail directly back onto North Carolina streets WASHINGTON – Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has lodged a detainer asking Charlotte sanctuary politicians to not release Angelvis Jesus Quintero Fernandez, a criminal illegal alien from Venezuela, who was arrested after allegedly carrying out two fatal shootings in Charlotte, North Carolina.

We need cooperation from sanctuary jurisdictions to make America safe again.

DHS Slams Manhattan District Attorney’s Office for Offering Insane Plea Deal to Trans-Identifying Illegal Alien Child Rapist

 Press Release:

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Office of Public Affairs

DHS Slams Manhattan District Attorney’s Office for Offering Insane Plea Deal to Trans-Identifying Illegal Alien Child Rapist The Manhattan District Attorney’s office agreed to a plea deal for this illegal alien child rapist that allowed him to serve a mere six months in jail WASHINGTON – Today, the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) condemned the Manhattan District Attorney's Office for offering “Nicol Alexandra” Contreras-Suarez, a transgender criminal illegal alien, an insane six-month plea deal with time served in exchange for admitting to following a 14-year-old into the bathroom and raping him in February 2025. He was initially charged with first-degree rape of a child less than age 17 and stalking. But in exchange for his guilty plea, the Manhattan District Attorney’s office offered him a six-month sentence. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) first lodged an immigration detainer with Manhattan Central Booking on February 13, 2025. He is currently being held at Rikers Island. New York City Department of Corrections has agreed to honor ICE’s detainer and not release this child rapist into American communities. “This plea deal is a disgrace. Six months in jail for raping a child is a gross miscarriage of justice. This pervert was let into our country by the Biden administration and then again released from jail following his arrests for armed robbery, assault with a dangerous weapon, and prostitution,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “The horror story of Contreras-Suarez illustrates how open border and sanctuary politicians endanger Americans. Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, we will continue to put the safety of Americans first and fight to get criminal illegal aliens like this out of our communities to no longer prey on and victimize innocent children.” In March of 2023, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) arrested Contreras-Suarez for illegally entering the U.S. in San Ysidro, California. The Biden Administration released him into the country. Contreras-Suarez was later arrested by Medford Police Department in Massachusetts for armed robbery, prostitution, and assault with a dangerous weapon. Due to sanctuary politicians, this criminal illegal alien was then released to terrorize more Americans.
