MS-13 Gang Member Sent Back Home

A Salvadoran MS-13 gang member illegally present in the United States, who is wanted in his home country on multiple murder charges, was removed from the United States Oct. 4 by officers with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO).

Cesar Amauri Cruz-Marin, 42, was previously removed from the United States in November 2009. According to Salvadoran authorities, after his return to El Salvador, Cruz shot three men in the head in December 2010 and then fled. He subsequently illegally reentered the United States at an unknown time and was arrested by a U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force Oct. 23, 2014, in Madison, Tenn.

Cruz was subsequently prosecuted on a felony charge of illegally re-entering the Unites States following removal. Cruz was convicted in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee in May, and was transferred into ERO custody in August after he was released from federal prison.

ERO officers removed Cruz Friday via an ICE Air charter flight from Alexandria, Louisiana, to Comalapa, El Salvador, where he was then transferred into Salvadoran law enforcement custody.
