ICE Deports Illegal Migrant Convicted of Attempted Murder of Newborn

A Honduran illegal migrant who was allowed into the country by the Obama administration has been deported by ICE before being released back onto the streets of New York for attempting to kill her newborn son, officials have confirmed.

Soili Xiomara Aparicio-Santos, a resident of Long Island, was convicted in 2018 of second-degree attempted murder, first- and second-degree attempted assault, and endangering the welfare of a child for trying to smother her infant with a pillow.

She was sentenced to 16 years in prison, which was later reduced to 10 years on appeal. Local authorities cooperated with ICE and informed the agency about her impending release after serving eight years in a New York prison for the heinous crime.

Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis expressed shock at the incident, calling Aparicio-Santos a “monster” for attempting to kill her own child on the day he was born. Bis also criticized the Obama administration for allowing such a dangerous criminal into the country and emphasized the need for cooperation between law enforcement agencies and ICE to ensure public safety.

Aparicio-Santos entered the US illegally in 2014 and was subsequently released. She received a final order of removal from an immigration judge in April of that year. ICE issued an immigration detainer against her in September 2017 when she was arrested for first-degree reckless endangerment by Suffolk County police.

Another detainer was lodged in December 2018 while she was serving her prison sentence. Following her release, ICE arrested Aparicio-Santos on April 7 and deported her on April 15 to Honduras.

The case highlights the importance of collaboration between federal and local authorities in ensuring that dangerous criminals are removed from the country. ICE’s swift action in deporting Aparicio-Santos serves as a reminder of the agency’s commitment to upholding public safety and enforcing immigration laws.
