ICE Issues Detainers for Noncitizens Charged with Murder in Texas and Missouri
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials issued detainers for two noncitizens facing murder charges in separate incidents in Texas and Missouri. In Texas, authorities charged Francisco Mendez-Marin with felony homicide for the death of his wife just weeks after their marriage. ICE requested that local law enforcement hold Mendez-Marin rather than releasing him from custody. In Missouri, federal agents lodged a detainer for Yefry Archaga-Elvir, a Honduran national accused of killing a 15-year-old boy. ICE officials stated they are asking local authorities not to release the suspect to ensure he remains in custody.
