Two illegal aliens, one convicted of attempted murder and the other for sexual abuse, have been deported from the United States to their native Mexico by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Abel Rojas-Hernandez, a 57-year-old illegal alien from Mexico, was first convicted in November 1996 for attempted murder and sentenced to 25 years in prison in the state of Oregon. Before the conviction, Rojas-Hernandez had been convicted for theft and violating the terms of his probation.
ICE agents first requested that Rojas-Hernandez be turned over to their custody in February 2012 before his release from prison. In November 2020, Rojas-Hernandez was transferred to ICE by the Oregon Department of Corrections and ordered deported by a federal immigration judge this month.
