DHS Law Enforcement Arrests Two Illegal Aliens Wanted in Mexico for Murder and Child Sex Crimes

Release Date: March 21, 2026
These two fugitives are examples of what the media categorize as ‘non-criminal’ illegal aliens because they lack a rap sheet in the U.S.

WASHINGTON – The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Wednesday, March 18, announced the arrests of two Mexican fugitives with active warrants in Mexico – one for homicide and the other for lewd and lascivious acts upon a child – by agents from the San Diego Sector of the United States Border Patrol.

“Thanks to the Biden administration, these dangerous criminal illegal aliens were allowed to roam American streets and make our communities less safe,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “These are the types of illegal aliens the media categorizes as ‘non-criminal’ illegal aliens because they lack a rap sheet in the U.S. Nearly 70% of illegal aliens ICE arrested across the country have criminal convictions or pending criminal charges in the U.S. This statistic doesn’t even account for those wanted for violent crimes in their home country or another country, human rights abusers, gang members, and terrorists. Now, thanks to our law enforcement, these two criminal illegals are back in Mexico to face justice for their crimes.”

On February 26, agents from the San Diego Sector of the U.S. Border Patrol conducted coordinated surveillance targeting Silvia Del Rosario Torres-Castro, a Mexican national wanted in Mexico for homicide. Agents arrested Torres-Castro without incident in Anaheim, California, processed her administratively, and turned her over to Mexico’s Fiscalía General de la República (FGR). She entered the U.S. illegally in December 2023 under the Biden administration in the Imperial Beach Border Patrol Station’s Area of Responsibility.

In a separate event on March 6, San Diego Sector Border Patrol agents conducted surveillance targeting Salvador Suazo-Garcia, a Mexican national wanted in Mexico for lewd and lascivious acts upon a child. Agents arrested Suazo-Garcia without incident in Lemon Grove, California, processed him administratively, and turned him over to Mexico’s FGR. Though Suazo-Garcia entered the U.S. legally in May 2021 under the Biden administration, his visa was revoked based on his alleged crimes in Mexico.
