Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) blasted open border policies after a four-time deportee was convicted of murdering a Tacoma auto dealer. 

A jury in Pierce County, Washington, convicted Jerry Espana-Davila on July 30 of multiple charges: two first-degree murder counts, two second-degree murder counts (which will be combined at sentencing), and illegal firearm possession, as per court records reviewed by Fox News Digital.

ICE confirmed that Mexican national Espana-Davila entered the U.S. illegally at an unknown date and was deported four times. 

His criminal record reportedly dates back to 2000, including charges of DUI, negligent driving and multiple assaults.

Jerry Espana-Davila was convicted of murder after being deported four times and illegally reentering the U.S. (Pierce County )

According to a report by “The Jason Rantz Show,” authorities discovered the victim deceased inside a white Hyundai Tucson near the intersection of South 28th and M Street in Tacoma.

According to court documents, surveillance video showed Espana-Davila stalking the victim’s car before he fired shots. 

Espana-Davila escaped using a minivan. Investigators eventually linked him to the crime through a black dog that appeared in surveillance footage. The dog had been hit by a vehicle and subsequently taken by animal control.

Espana-Davila was apprehended after his girlfriend came to the Humane Society to claim the dog. Detectives were present and identified and arrested him in the vicinity.

A state law, the Keep Washington Working Act, limits collaboration between local police and federal immigration authorities in Washington, as highlighted by John Moore/Getty Images.

Washington’s Keep Washington Working Act, signed in 2019, restricts local law enforcement from assisting federal immigration authorities.

With his conviction secured, Espana-Davila faces a possible life sentence. His sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 3.
