U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issued detainers Thursday against three alleged MS-13 members accused of murdering a 14-year-old boy in Maryland, Fox News has learned.
ICE says the three suspects — Alan Josai Garcia Padilla, Jose Vladimir Merlos-Majano and William Ariel Cuellar Guiterrez — are all illegal immigrants from El Salvador. Authorities in College Park, Maryland, say the victim, Jefferson Amaya-Ayala, was lured to a public park and murdered Aug. 2.
“This heinous murder of a child by MS-13 gang members is reprehensible. This murder was completely preventable. All three of these gang members had prior run-ins with law enforcement. ICE should have been notified following their arrests,” Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.
“Joe Biden and sanctuary politicians allowed gang members to terrorize our communities and released them from jails following their arrests. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, we’ve already arrested 7,000 gang members.”

Merlos-Majano also had previous arrests for defacing public property and possession of a prohibited weapon.

President Donald Trump’s administration has focused on capturing and deporting criminal illegal aliens across the country. Thursday’s detainers come after ICE launched Operation Catch of the Day across Maine, arresting over 50 people since Tuesday.

DHS said the operation follows ongoing disagreements with Maine officials over cooperation with federal immigration enforcement and comes as the administration increases pressure on jurisdictions it says limit arrests of criminal illegal aliens.
“Governor Mills and her fellow sanctuary politicians in Maine have made it abundantly clear that they would rather stand with criminal illegal aliens than protect law-abiding American citizens,” McLaughlin said. “We have launched Operation Catch of the Day to target the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens in the state.

“On the first day of operations, we arrested illegal aliens convicted of aggravated assault, false imprisonment and endangering the welfare of a child,” she continued. “Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, we are no longer allowing criminal illegal aliens to terrorize American citizens.”

The Dragons closed out their sweep with 15 runs on just 11 hits. Pasteur had a monster performance at the plate with four runs scored, three hits in three at-bats, two home runs and five RBI; she also worked a pair of walks and proved to be an utter pain for Piper pitchers Reagan Asbury and Harper Cordill.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (WTNH) — A New Haven man was sentenced to six years in federal prison on Monday for violating the terms of his release after he was found in possession of narcotics, including meth pills shaped like Super Mario in 2024.
According to the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut, 33-year-old Ronnell Rogers was pulled over in New Haven on May 2, 2024, and was found with fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin packaged for distribution, and meth pills shaped like “cartoon characters,” including Mario.
Rogers had been sentenced to 37 months in federal prison in 2022 for drug distribution and firearm possession, as well as 14 months for violating the terms of his supervised release for a previous federal conviction for unlawful possession of ammunition by a felon. He was released in March 2024.
Rogers has been in federal custody since May 30, 2024, and pleaded guilty to possession of fentanyl with intent to distribute and distribution of fentanyl.
