The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested an illegal alien from El Salvador on May 4 in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The suspect, Josue Saul Garcia‑Lopez, is listed on an international warrant as an active member of the MS‑13 gang and has been involved in extortion and robbery schemes in his home country for several years. Garcia‑Lopez previously faced arrests in El Salvador for unlawful possession of a firearm and disorderly conduct. He entered the United States at an unknown date and location. Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis highlighted that the arrest is an example of a ‘non‑criminal’ case because the individual lacks a U.S. criminal record. The announcement followed Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger’s recent executive orders ending state cooperation with ICE and terminating 287(g) agreements.
