An illegal alien, accused of raping a young girl in southeast Louisiana, had been released into the United States by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) despite there being available detention space to keep him in federal custody.
The House Judiciary Committee issued a report on 19-year-old Angel Matias Castellanos-Orellana of Honduras who is charged with raping a 14-year-old girl in Kenner, Louisiana, as well as stabbing a man during a violent armed robbery.
“The disastrous immigration policies of the Biden-Harris Administration have had real-world consequences for American citizens,” Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Tom McClintock (R-CA) write in the report:
"The effects of those policies will be felt for years to come, with criminal aliens in American neighborhoods harming families and hurting public safety across the country."
According to the report, Castellanos-Orellana first crossed the U.S.-Mexico border near Eagle Pass, Texas, on Oct. 6, 2023.
Soon after being apprehended by Border Patrol agents, Castellanos-Orellana was given a Notice to Appear (NTA) before a federal immigration judge on Nov. 7, 2023 and released from DHS custody.
