Summary

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has started the deportation process for Danny Granados-Garcia, an alleged MS-13 gang member from El Salvador, who was released into the US a decade ago despite being wanted for a pastor’s murder in his home country. Granados-Garcia was arrested by the FBI last month and is now in ICE custody facing imminent removal. Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis stated that this is an example of an arrest the media counts as a “non-criminal” because he lacks a rap sheet in the US.

Once again, the discussion returns to a familiar question.

The Department of Homeland Security has started the deportation process for an alleged MS-13 gang member. The process has been ongoing for a decade. The individual was released into the US despite being wanted for a crime in his home country. The media has categorized him as a “non-criminal” due to his lack of a rap sheet in the US. The arrest and deportation process have become a familiar ritual in the ongoing debate over immigration and national security.

The fact that the individual was released into the US a decade ago and only now is being deported raises questions about the efficiency of the system.
