ICE Ask Charlotte Sanctuary Politicians to Not Release Illegal Alien from Jail who was Arrested for Two Murders

Sanctuary politicians released nearly 1,400 criminal illegal aliens from jail directly back onto North Carolina streets

WASHINGTON - Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has lodged a detainer asking Charlotte sanctuary politicians to not release Angelvis Jesus Quintero Fernandez, a criminal illegal alien from Venezuela, who was arrested after allegedly carrying out two fatal shootings in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Angelvis Jesus Quintero Fernandez, a 22-year-old illegal alien from Venezuela, now faces felony charges of first degree murder, attempted first degree murder, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury, possess stolen firearm, and felony conspiracy after allegedly confessing to fatally shooting 44-year-old Ludvin Antonio Guzman Morales on January 24 and Luis Guitierrez Mora on March 22 this year.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police arrested the Venezuelan national on March 23, 2026.

"Because of the Biden administration's disastrous CBP One app, this illegal alien was allowed to come into the country and commit these murders," said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. "We are calling on Charlotte sanctuary politicians to commit to not releasing this murderer from jail back into our comminutes. We need cooperation from sanctuary jurisdictions to make America safe again. No one wants this murderer in their communities."

Quintero Fernandez first came into the country in July of 2023 via the CBP One app, which the Biden administration used to release more than a million unvetted illegal aliens into the United States.
