An MS-13 gangbanger was able to amass a 15-page-long rap sheet in liberal haven Fairfax, Virginia before he was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Mykol Santos-Santos, 25, a Guatemalan who is in the United States illegally, had charges and convictions including assault and battery, burglary, credit card fraud, trespassing, drug crimes, property damage, obstruction of justice, attempting to flee police, failure to appear, and violating court orders, Fox News reported.
ICE agents made the arrest on Monday after the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center refused to honor ICE’s 16th immigration detainer lodged against Santos-Santos.
"Mykol Santos-Santos is a habitual offender. He is a documented member of a violent criminal gang with a lengthy criminal history and represents an egregious danger to our Virginia communities," ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Washington, D.C. Field Office Director Russell Hott said. "While we are happy to have arrested him, we find it inexcusable that local law enforcement refused to honor 16 separate immigration detainers against Santos-Santos, forcing ICE officers to make an at large arrest where one of our officers was injured."
He continued, "We could have worked together with local law enforcement to arrange a safe transfer of custody. Instead, they decided to place politics ahead of public safety, and as a result one of our brave officers was injured. ICE Washington D.C. will continue to prioritize the safety of our public by arresting and removing criminal alien threats to our communities."
