Federal immigration authorities arrested a dangerous illegal alien who killed an 18-month-old boy in Wisconsin.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) just announced the recent apprehension of Akira Salinas-Ruiz, a previously-deported Mexican national convicted of heinous crimes against a very young child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2006, police arrested a \u201cManitowoc man\u201d after his then-girlfriend\u2019s son was found unresponsive and critically injured from an alleged fall at his home, the Twin Cities Pioneer Press<\/a> reported at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The toddler was rushed to a Milwaukee hospital where he passed away a short time later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA doctor at Children\u2019s Hospital concluded the boy suffered abusive head trauma consistent with shaken baby syndrome, and not consistent with the injuries from a short fall,\u201d the outlet reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2007, Salinas-Ruiz pleaded no contest to first-degree reckless homicide and was sentenced to 20 years in prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSalinas-Ruiz told immigration officials in 2007 that he\u2019d last illegally entered the United States sometime in 2001, along Arizona\u2019s border near Sonora, Mexico. However, records indicate that immigration officials encountered him April 6, 2002, and granted him a voluntary return to Mexico at that time \u2014 nearly four years before he murdered the 18-month-old child,\u201d ICE explained in a press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2008, a federal immigration judge ordered Salinas-Ruiz removed from the U.S. at the conclusion of his prison sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Feb. 17, Salinas-Ruiz was taken into custody by ICE and promptly deported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis criminal illegal alien \u2014 this convicted child-murderer \u2014 should never have been in the U.S. in the first place,\u201d said ICE Director Todd M. Lyons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHad he not snuck into the U.S., Santiago Teniente Jr. could be in his senior year of college, living the life he was meant to lead. Instead, Salinas-Ruiz stole that little boy\u2019s future. That\u2019s why the men and women of ICE brave a 1,427% increase in assaults and an 8,000% increase in death threats to get out on the streets every day and arrest criminal illegal aliens who are already known public safety threats. If we can save even one child from something like this through targeted enforcement, it\u2019s worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
