Illegal Gangbanger Placed Bounty On Top Border Official, Feds Say
An illegal migrant gangbanger allegedly offered thousands of dollars to kill one of the top enforcers of the Trump administration’s immigration agenda.
Federal law enforcement agents arrested Juan Espinoza Martinez, a criminal illegal migrant and member of the ruthless Latin Kings gang, on Monday, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Martinez is accused of offering at least $10,000 to take down Commander at Large of the Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino.
“Depraved individuals like Juan Espinoza Martinez – who do not value human life and threaten law enforcement– do NOT belong in this country,” Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a public statement. “We will not allow criminal gangs to put hits on U.S. government officials and our law enforcement officers.”
“Thanks to ICE and our federal law enforcement partners, this thug is off our streets and behind bars,” McLaughlin continued.
A confidential source provided information to law enforcement on Friday that a “hit” had been placed on Bovino, according to DHS. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) received a screenshot of a Snapchat conversation from a user named “Juan” who appeared to place a $2,000 reward for information on catching Bovino and a $10,000 bounty “if you take him down.” (Read more from “Illegal Gangbanger Placed Bounty On Top Border Official, Feds Say” HERE)
