ICE agents capture suspected violent MS-13 gang member, another illegal alien after police let them slip away

Federal authorities in Indiana recently nabbed two illegal immigrants accused of murder and strangulation, among other violent crimes.

According to a statement from ICE posted on X on Tuesday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents have detained Jonny Handy Martinez-Barillas, a Honduran national and alleged MS-13 gang member.

Martinez-Barillas had previously been charged with first-degree murder and possession of a firearm, officials said.

The arrests come amid a 700% spike in assaults against federal immigration agents compared to 2024, and violent attacks reported this week.

The White House urged congressional Democrats to moderate their use of inflammatory language after a gunman fired at Border Patrol agents at an annex facility in McAllen, Texas, on Monday.

After injuring a police officer and two agents, the suspect was killed by authorities.
